UNSPSC 50473515: Canned or jarred organic pea eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50473515 Canned or jarred organic pea eggplants is a Commodity code that, in practice, does not reflect the scope of recent state and local food procurement activity tagged under it. The source identifies ten recent opportunities from state health agencies, school districts, county governments, and correctional facilities, but none of them solicit canned or jarred organic pea eggplants specifically. Instead, state and local governments issue IFBs, IWQs (informal written quotes), and RFQs for comprehensive food supply contracts covering dozens or hundreds of line items — fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, canned vegetables and fruits, condiments, sauces, grains, and food service consumables such as containers, napkins, and straws. The typical procurement bundles prepared foods with supplies; Ben Hill County Schools' food bid, for example, encompasses nearly 400 line items across multiple categories, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food solicitation spans 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts and state-supported living centers are the dominant issuing bodies, with state departments of corrections and county governments also present.

The recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with one Illinois procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products for Community Services (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes alone (due June 19, 2026, with a prior award at $13.75 per case). A significant Texas IFB by HHSC for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers covered 210 line items with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4.5 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity — procurement tags under this UNSPSC do not align with the actual food products and supplies being solicited.
