UNSPSC 50463514: Canned or jarred ova eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50463514 Canned or jarred ova eggplants is a Commodity code that in practice captures shelf-stable prepared vegetables and canned food products procured by state agencies, counties, school districts, and correctional facilities for institutional food service, canteen operations, and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show the code applied to broader food-supply aggregations that include canned vegetables alongside proteins, dairy, condiments, and food-service supplies rather than eggplant specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span multiple sectors: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state hospitals and supported living centers), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County (senior services), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, and the State of Illinois. These buyers typically procure dozens to hundreds of line items across product families and award to single or multiple vendors on a firm, fixed-price or quarterly basis with delivery to central distribution points or multiple facility locations.

The code shows active recent procurement across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, prior award $13.75 per case), Ben Hill County Schools' food-bid program spanning multiple categories with Buy American Act compliance (bids due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for 382 line items of cafeteria products across five regional distribution points (bids due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Institutional food-service contracts typically run fiscal-year terms with renewal or extension options, require FOB Destination pricing with delivery within seven to thirty days of order, and impose compliance burdens including debarment certifications, E-Verify verification, and HACCP or food-safety documentation. Contract values reported include $1.5 million for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (fiscal year 2027) and $4.5 million maximum potential over three years for the statewide HHSC supplemental food solicitation.
