UNSPSC 50473502: Canned or jarred organic black beauty eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic black beauty eggplants that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473502 Canned or jarred organic black beauty eggplants is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single representative opportunity identified across the recent solicitations block does not match the code's specific product line. State and local governments soliciting under food and consumable codes are buying bulk shelf-stable products for institutional food service — primarily canned vegetables (tomatoes, mixed vegetables), proteins, grains, dairy, and food service supplies — but organic black beauty eggplants, whether canned or jarred, do not appear in the recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB records reviewed. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, including state supported living centers and state hospitals), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and county government nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). These entities source food through food service distributors and specialty suppliers on competitive bid cycles tied to fiscal-year planning and school calendar cycles, with contract terms typically running one to two years with optional renewals.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables supporting state supported living centers and state hospitals, including HHS0016792V2 (210 line items, bids due March 19, 2026; maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior period value $1.5 million, proposals due July 13, 2026), and HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026, 22 line items). Georgia school districts solicited comprehensive food bids: Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB 26271 (bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools sought sealed bids due June 5, 2026 for nearly 400 line items across five school locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. The code shows no direct procurement signals and does not align with current state and local food service sourcing patterns; business development professionals should verify code applicability before pursuing opportunities tagged under this commodity.
