The variety of organic eggplants known as organic black beauty eggplants that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453502 Frozen organic black beauty eggplants is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable and fresh produce items, particularly frozen vegetables, procured by state and local food-service buyers for senior services, school lunch programs, and county food assistance initiatives. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show state and local governments purchasing a mix of shelf-stable food products—canned vegetables, proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces—alongside fresh and frozen produce for institutional meal service, though the specific frozen organic eggplant line item does not appear prominently in the posted records. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education). School districts dominate the recent activity, with the Early County Board of Education seeking 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across multiple schools. All issuing bodies enforce domestic sourcing preferences, USDA compliance for whole-grain and enriched-tier specifications, HACCP food safety plans, and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ 140229 request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026, with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026.

Award is commonly made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, often on a line-item basis.
