UNSPSC 50463507: Canned or jarred florida market eggplants

The variety of eggplants known as florida market eggplants that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463507 Canned or jarred Florida market eggplants (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader institutional food service contracts for state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that state and local purchasing offices buy canned eggplants as line items within larger consumables procurements that span dozens or hundreds of food products—fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items—rather than as standalone specialty purchases. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments operating state supported living centers and hospitals, state correctional departments, state departments of education contracting on behalf of school districts, and county and municipal agencies supplying food services. These organizations treat canned eggplants as commodity inputs to standardized meal planning and canteen operations, typically requesting pricing on a per-case or per-unit basis with delivery consolidated into bulk food orders.

The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically naming canned eggplants or mentioning UNSPSC 50463507 by name. The nine recent opportunities (posted between May and October 2026) encompass food service procurements across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon for state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. Representative recent activity includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026). While these opportunities span canned vegetables, none explicitly cite the code or product. The code shows little direct recent solicitation activity; canned eggplants, if purchased at all by state and local buyers, appear embedded in line-item procurements classified under broader commodity or family codes rather than tracked separately under this specific Commodity code.
