UNSPSC 50463518: Canned or jarred thai eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50463518 Canned or jarred thai eggplants is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity showing no direct relevance to the code's stated scope is the Illinois Veterans Home's February 2026 RFQ for quarterly weekly food orders covering 24 diverse line items—bacon, cheese, pizza crusts, donuts, Hawaiian rolls, and specialty items—with no thai eggplants specified. The code appears to reflect a narrowly defined specialty product that does not materialize in recent state and local solicitations despite a broader ecosystem of food-service procurement across institutional buyers.

State and local issuing bodies actively soliciting food and consumable products include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Burke County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Douglas County systems in Georgia), state facilities (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and county boards of education (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education). Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of volume. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually), the Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery contract for all school departments (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP serving approximately 32,000 meals daily with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. These opportunities typically specify dozens or hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared categories with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and weekly or regular delivery schedules, but none reference canned or jarred thai eggplants as a procurement item.
