UNSPSC 50483500: Eggplant purees

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

UNSPSC 50483500 Eggplant purees is a Class code that in state and local procurement practice encompasses broader shelf-stable and prepared food procurement for institutional kitchens, food service operations, and consumable-supply contracts—not eggplant purees specifically. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show state and local governments actually buying comprehensive food-service packages: prepared foods (french fries, chicken wings, frozen entrees), proteins (ground beef, cheese, fish portions), canned and fresh vegetables, dairy products, seasonings and condiments, and related kitchen consumables and supplies (containers, napkins, disposable gloves, serving trays). Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services managing state-supported living centers and hospitals, state departments of corrections supplying institutional food service, county and city governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools), and school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools) procuring for cafeteria operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer with multiple solicitations for facility consumables.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), with historical annual spend around $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across multiple schools (bids due June 15, 2026) encompassing hundreds of line items with Buy American requirements; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case. Texas and Georgia school districts and state agencies show the heaviest recent bid activity, with delivery requirements typically FOB Destination, compliance with USDA grades and FDA standards, and response timelines of one to three weeks from posting.
