UNSPSC 50483502: Black beauty eggplant purees

The variety of eggplants known as black beauty eggplants which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483502 Black beauty eggplant purees, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and state institutional food service operators buying prepared food products for child nutrition programs and state facility meal service. The code nominal describes a specific vegetable puree product; however, recent solicitations posted under this code actually encompass broad grocery and fresh produce procurement, with black beauty eggplant purees representing one line item among hundreds in multi-category food service contracts rather than standalone purchases. School districts and state health and human services agencies are the primary issuing bodies, reflecting institutional food service demand, while the solicitations show little demand for eggplant purees as a discrete commodity.

Geographic activity centers in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with school districts and state corrections and health departments as repeat buyers. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026), which covers multiple NIGP classes for institutional food service; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across multiple categories for four school locations; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's dual solicitations for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (due April 29, 2026), each requesting electronic bids via NUTRIKIDS. These procurements are structured as annual fixed-price or firm-pricing contracts with price adjustments permitted only at renewal or by manufacturer price documentation, reflecting typical school nutrition program contracting. The code shows no concentrated activity suggesting strong near-term opportunity; pursuit should focus on vendors already positioned in institutional food distribution to school districts or state supported living centers where eggplant purees might appear as secondary line items in broader grocery awards.
