UNSPSC 50463508: Canned or jarred indian eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50463508 Canned or jarred Indian eggplants is a Commodity code that sees limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its narrow product scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and institutional buyers (state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, veteran homes) purchasing canned vegetables as components of broader food service contracts. The code does not appear in standalone solicitations; instead, canned or jarred Indian eggplants would be one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food procurement bids where vendors quote dozens of canned vegetable SKUs at once. School districts, in particular, dominate this category, issuing annual food service RFPs and IFBs that bundle fresh produce, frozen items, proteins, dairy, and canned goods under single contracts serving multiple school locations. State agencies managing institutional food service (Department of Corrections facilities, health and human services supported living centers, veteran homes) also procure canned vegetables as part of quarterly or annual supply agreements covering 200+ line items each.

Recent activity shows the code embedded within multi-category food solicitations across the Southeast and upper Midwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for canned tomatoes (S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026, and S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026) requesting approximately 7,616 cases per cycle; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items statewide (HHS0016792, HHS0017449); Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for master grocery supply across 52 school sites; and school districts in Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) have posted annual food procurement bids encompassing canned produce alongside fresh and frozen categories. No solicitations name canned Indian eggplants explicitly; the code's activity is inferred from broader vegetable procurement patterns. Bidding cycles typically close in April through June for school-year contracts beginning July 1, with response dates ranging from 30 to 60 days. Given the commodity's specificity and its bundling within large multi-category food contracts, pursue this code only if your firm supplies canned vegetables to institutional food service distributors or if you are a primary food distributor competing for master grocery or quarterly food supply awards at the school district or corrections level.
