UNSPSC 50453518: Frozen organic thai eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50453518 Frozen organic thai eggplants is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within fresh and frozen produce procurement. State and local governments—primarily school districts but also state agencies and county systems—purchase this item as part of broader food service contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items covering vegetables, fruits, proteins, and staple foods for child nutrition programs, institutional cafeterias, and food service operations. The code's nominal scope (frozen organic thai eggplants) does not align with the actual recent solicitations tagged under it; the opportunities show procurement of mixed produce categories, frozen and fresh foods, grocery staples, and food service supplies rather than frozen thai eggplants specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District, alongside state procurement offices in Georgia and regional cooperative buying vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multi-district consortia.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary representation from Texas. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies across three schools under the National School Lunch Program; City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) for the 2026–2027 school year across ten sites; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items bid (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for the 2026–2027 period; and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with options to renew for additional one-year terms, require firm pricing for the contract period, mandate delivery to school sites within specified windows (often 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. weekdays), and emphasize HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on the issuing body.
