UNSPSC 50463512: Canned or jarred long striped eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50463512 Canned or jarred long striped eggplants is a Commodity code that shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy shelf-stable vegetable products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block reflects broader institutional food procurement where eggplants appear as one line item among dozens of staple proteins, dairy, grains, and preserved vegetables. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments operating state-supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, county and city school districts purchasing for child nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, and other state agencies managing cafeteria operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear repeatedly as major buyers of institutional food products at scale, alongside Georgia school districts and the Oregon Department of Corrections.

Recent opportunities show minimal demand for canned eggplants specifically; instead, the code captures only a fraction of large, multi-line-item food procurements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792V2 (210 line items across fresh, frozen, and preserved foods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, due March 19, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF (382 line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, and condiments for five geographic distribution areas, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) represent typical scope at scale. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid S2910000017145 (7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, previous purchase $13.75 per case) demonstrates that specific canned vegetables do move in institutional channels, though canned eggplants do not surface as a standalone or repeated line item in the posted summaries. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon; the code shows no recent concentrated sourcing pattern for eggplants alone and would likely be most relevant to vendors positioned to bid on large mixed-commodity food service contracts rather than as a specialty vegetable supplier.
