UNSPSC 50463510: Canned or jarred japanese eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50463510 Canned or jarred Japanese eggplants is a Commodity code describing preserved vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts for institutional feeding operations. The recent opportunities in this code's vicinity show that school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and institutional food-service operations buy canned and jarred vegetables—including canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and fresh produce—as components of larger weekly or annual food orders. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county school systems, individual school districts, and specialized facilities such as state-supported living centers. Multiple Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Savannah-Chatham County), Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Homes, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri all posted food procurement solicitations in the February-June 2026 window, with school districts representing the predominant issuing-body type.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia school systems particularly active), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Homes), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Tomato Canned procurement (S2910000016405, ITB, due February 9, 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases at historical pricing of $14.30 per case), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables contract (HHS0016792, IFB, closed February 23, 2026 with maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years), Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products procurement (304T26300CF, IFB, extended to May 4, 2026 covering approximately 382 line items across multiple food categories including canned vegetables), and Rockwood R-VI School District's child nutrition services grocery procurement (two separate IFBs for approximately 200 NOI items and over 900 grocery items, both due April 29, 2026 for the 2026-2027 school year). School nutrition programs consistently structure these as annual or multi-year term contracts with firm fixed pricing, quarterly or line-item cost adjustments tied to published indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data, and awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on individual line items or by vendor group.
