UNSPSC 50473504: Canned or jarred organic chinese eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50473504 Canned or jarred organic Chinese eggplants is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a narrowly defined food product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show little activity aligned with the code's specific scope. State and local governments buying under this code are purchasing broad baskets of shelf-stable and prepared food products to supply state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The issuing bodies soliciting these commodities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) across multiple state facilities, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Georgia and Texas school districts, Gwinnett County (Georgia), and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia). The work spans food service supply contracts ranging from single-item line purchases to comprehensive multi-category grocery procurements with dozens to hundreds of line items per solicitation, typically bundled with consumable food service supplies (containers, napkins, gloves, trays) and emphasizing USDA grade compliance, shelf-life standards, brand-specific or approved-equivalent options, and tight delivery windows of 72 hours to seven days from order receipt.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Georgia (county and school district nutrition programs), and Oregon (corrections system). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs in 2026, including HHS0017872 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (20 line items, bids due August 25, 2026), HHS0018082 for consumables at the same facility (22 line items, due October 23, 2026), and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (prior period value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026). The Texas Comptroller procured cafeteria food products for TDCJ across five geographic distribution areas under IFB 304T-26-300CF (approximately 382 line items, extended to May 4, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bids due June 5, 2026)—solicited comprehensive grocery packages of nearly 400 line items each for multi-school nutrition programs. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case.
