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 that encompasses specialty preserved vegetable products, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code reflects minimal direct solicitation; recent opportunities instead show school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities buying broadly across canned vegetables, produce, and food service supplies where pea eggplants would be line items within larger food procurement categories. The issuing bodies reflect the typical institutional food buyer mix—school nutrition programs (including Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County, Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state supported living centers and hospitals, Illinois Veterans Home). These jurisdictions procure canned and jarred vegetables as components of much larger food supply contracts, typically bundling dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared foods.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans multiple regions, with concentrated activity in Texas (HHSC statewide, TDCJ facilities), Georgia (multiple school districts and state agency buys), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County), indicating activity is not concentrated in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, with prior period spend of $1.5 million), the Ben Hill County Schools food bid under IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026, covering multiple produce and food categories across four school locations), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato ITB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases with Oregon fabrication and resident-bidder preferences), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools with minimum three-year food service experience requirement). School district food procurements dominate the recent activity, with most contracts structured as annual fixed-price agreements running July-through-June fiscal years and typically including renewal options for two to four additional years; evaluation is commonly lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder, with pricing remaining firm through the initial term and midterm adjustments permitted only for documented manufacturer price increases exceeding 5 percent.
