UNSPSC 50443515: Frozen pea eggplants

The variety of eggplants known as pea eggplants that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443515 Frozen pea eggplants is a Commodity code with limited recent procurement activity under its nominal scope. State and local governments do not appear to be actively buying frozen pea eggplants through this code; instead, the recent solicitations tagged to it reflect broader frozen vegetable procurement across correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and county governments. The actual purchasing activity under related frozen vegetable codes centers on frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted vegetable blends, and fresh produce — commodity staples for institutional food service operations serving thousands of daily meals.

Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission dominate recent activity, issuing ITBs and IFBs for high-volume frozen and fresh vegetable supply to distribution centers and state-supported living centers. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, and Connecticut are among the most frequent recent solicitors, procuring comprehensive food supply contracts (often 300+ line items spanning frozen, fresh, canned, and dry goods) for child nutrition programs serving 5,000 to 25,000+ students annually. County correctional facilities in Pennsylvania and Montgomery County also solicit groceries including frozen items on an as-needed basis. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple recent ITBs for frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends, and frozen corn (S2910000017451, S2910000016589, S2910000016558) with July and June 2026 response dates, each typically requesting 40,000 to 400,000 pounds delivered FOB destination to Salem, with historical pricing ranging $0.398 to $0.689 per pound depending on product and cut. Texas HHSC's supplemental food procurement (HHS0016792V2, HHS0017449) encompasses 210 line items including frozen specialty foods across state hospitals and supported living centers, with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million. School nutrition procurement shows consistent demand: Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), and Rockwood School District (Missouri) all issued bids or RFPs in April through June 2026 for comprehensive grocery and frozen product supply, typically with 300–900 line items, firm pricing for 12–24 months, and renewal options. Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, whole-grain standards, and low-sodium formulations are standard requirements across school and institutional procurement. No recent opportunities explicitly reference frozen pea eggplants as a line item; the code appears inactive relative to actual state and local frozen vegetable sourcing.
