UNSPSC 50453516: Frozen organic short tom eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50453516 Frozen organic short tom eggplants is a Commodity code that does not map cleanly to recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The nine recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span food procurement for school nutrition programs, state operations, and child nutrition services, but none identify frozen organic short tom eggplants or comparable frozen specialty produce as a discrete line item. The solicitations instead target broad food-service categories including general grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, eggs, and food supply and distribution. The code's nominal scope—a single frozen vegetable product—diverges sharply from what state and local governments are actually buying in this space, which operates at far wider commodity families and bundles thousands of line items into single procurements. The source provides no evidence of isolated procurement activity for frozen organic eggplants at the state, county, school district, or transit authority level.

The recent activity shows school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas issuing RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs for multi-item food bundles serving cafeteria operations, child nutrition programs, and institutional food service. Douglas County School System's fresh-produce RFP for 30 school districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) encompasses 72 fresh-produce line items with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas; the Early County Board of Education's school lunch and breakfast program solicitation (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) requests bids on 300+ food items plus non-food supplies; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP (posted February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026) seeks various food products outside main commercial commodity bids. These procurements group frozen and fresh produce together, price competitively against wholesale market indexes, and prioritize delivery reliability and food-safety compliance over specialty varieties. Frozen organic short tom eggplants do not appear as a named commodity or relevant subset in any recent solicitation reviewed.
