UNSPSC 50453509: Frozen organic italian eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50453509 Frozen organic italian eggplants is a Commodity code that in practice captures shelf-stable and refrigerated food procurement by state and local governments, though the recent solicitation activity shows no purchases of frozen organic eggplants specifically. Instead, state and local buyers under this code are acquiring broad categories of food items for community services, senior services, school nutrition programs, and institutional meal service — including canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, fresh and frozen produce, meats, poultry, seafood, grains, bread products, and fluid milk. Issuing bodies span county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for food commodities rather than a precise descriptor of item type, reflecting how state and local procurement systems often tag multi-item food contracts.

Recent activity centers on Georgia. Gwinnett County issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; that solicitation emphasized domestic sourcing, whole-grain bread options, low-sodium and no-sugar-added formulations, and required $500,000 general liability insurance and HACCP compliance. School districts and county social-services departments dominate recent activity; buyers typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-by-line or per-ounce-equivalent basis and often permit split awards across multiple vendors.
