UNSPSC 50463503: Canned or jarred black enorma eggplants

The variety of eggplants known as black enorma eggplants that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463503 Canned or jarred black enorma eggplants is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned and jarred specialty vegetables through this code, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is rarely tagged to eggplant-specific opportunities. Instead, recent state and local buyers are soliciting canned vegetables broadly—canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and mixed canned goods—as part of larger food service contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services commissions (Texas), state agencies (Illinois, Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County, Burke County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Rockwood, Douglas County), and county school systems. The work spans weekly food orders for institutional kitchens, quarterly and annual grocery procurements for school cafeterias, and bulk canned-goods supply for state facility food service operations. School nutrition programs represent the largest segment of recent activity, with multiple districts issuing annual or multi-year term contracts for comprehensive food supply including canned vegetables alongside fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods.

Geographic spread of recent opportunities centers on Georgia (Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Burke County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC statewide, TDCJ correctional facilities, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia also show recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST (ITB), with historical pricing at $13.75 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 at 10:30 AM Central Time, covering NIGP food service categories with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products due June 15, 2026 at 2:30 p.m., encompassing multiple food categories delivered to four school locations with Buy American Act compliance required.
