UNSPSC 50483500: Eggplant purees

The type of vegetable known as eggplants which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483500 Eggplant purees, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for eggplant purees or any eggplant products. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service procurement—weekly food orders for veterans' homes, supplemental foods for state-supported living centers and hospitals, canned tomatoes and tomato paste for corrections departments, fresh produce and eggs for school districts, and comprehensive grocery supply for K–12 nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope (pureed eggplant as a finished food product) does not match the goods actually being solicited, which are commodity-level proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods for institutional food service.

State and local issuers of food procurement under this code tag include corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with notable secondary volume in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at state-supported living centers (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K–12 serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026). The code shows substantial state and local procurement activity, but the activity centers on institutional food service supply rather than eggplant purees as a discrete product line.
