UNSPSC 50453517: Frozen organic sicilian eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50453517 Frozen organic Sicilian eggplants (Commodity) maps to a narrow specialty product line within frozen produce procurement, but state and local government activity under this code shows little concrete recent solicitation targeting the specific item named. Instead, the eight recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span broader frozen and fresh produce categories—including fresh produce, frozen foods and groceries, fresh eggs, and commodity-level food service items—solicited across school nutrition programs, state food operations, and district child nutrition services. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education) along with state-level procuring agencies (State of Georgia). None of the recent solicitations explicitly name Sicilian eggplants or narrow frozen-eggplant procurement; the code appears to capture specialty produce within larger food-service contracts rather than standalone commodity buys.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with Texas activity from Dallas ISD. Recent representative opportunities include the State of Georgia's May 2026 IFB for Fresh Produce (response due May 27, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for Fresh Produce with 72 line items ranging from apples to pre-cut vegetables (due April 23, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur's May 2026 IFB for Frozen Foods and Grocery items serving ten school sites (due May 15, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for Fresh Produce and Eggs spanning 30 districts across two regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area (due March 4, 2026). School districts typically require firm pricing for full contract periods (July to June annually), Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, $1 million general liability insurance, and delivery to multiple sites during early-morning or midday windows Monday through Friday. Frozen specialty items when solicited appear as line items within larger produce or grocery RFPs rather than as sole-source procurements.
