UNSPSC 50453512: Frozen organic long striped eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50453512 Frozen organic long striped eggplants is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting frozen organic eggplants. Instead, the recent state and local activity under this code tag reflects broad school nutrition and institutional food service procurement—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, eggs, and mixed food products delivered to school districts, state agencies, and child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state government procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts running annual or multi-year competitive solicitations under state and local RFP, RFQ, and IFB processes to stock school nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional volume in Texas. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies across three schools; City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) for frozen and grocery products across ten school sites with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Rockwood R-VI School District's Grocery Items bid (IFB, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items serving 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants; and Douglas County School System's Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. Across these solicitations, vendors must meet Buy American requirements, maintain HACCP plans and substantial liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability), comply with E-Verify, provide food recall procedures, and deliver firm pricing often locked for the full contract year with escalation limited to documented commodity market increases of 3–10 percent depending on the district.
