UNSPSC 50463515: Canned or jarred pea eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50463515 Canned or jarred pea eggplants is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable preserved vegetables typically procured in bulk cases by state and local institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show little direct procurement of the specific product—pea eggplants do not appear in current solicitations—but the code sits within a broader ecosystem of canned and jarred vegetable purchases by state health and human services departments, county nutrition programs, school districts, and correctional facilities. State and local buyers in this space source prepared and specialty foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies as integrated line-item packages rather than as single-commodity buys. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health departments managing state supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, county governments operating senior services and nutrition programs, school districts running food service across multiple campuses, and state correctional agencies supplying prison cafeterias. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears multiple times as a repeat buyer of institutional food categories including state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include IFB HHS0018082 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Lufkin State Supported Living Center, consumable foods and supplies, due October 23, 2026), IWQ 140229 (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia, shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for senior services, due October 19, 2026), and S2910000017145 (Oregon Department of Corrections, approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, IFB due June 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issued food procurement IFBs in the recent window. Opportunities in this category typically specify USDA grade standards, shelf-life minimums, FDA/USDA compliance, Buy American provisions where applicable, FOB Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, firm fixed pricing for initial periods with adjustments tied to third-party market indices at renewal, and submission of three verifiable references. No current opportunities explicitly name canned or jarred pea eggplants as a line item.
