UNSPSC 50483503: Black enorma eggplant purees

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

UNSPSC 50483503 Black enorma eggplant purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities tagged under this code. The source shows no solicitations specifically for black enorma eggplant purees or eggplant products of any kind. The opportunities posted under this code span broad food procurement for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and veteran homes — encompassing hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen goods, condiments, and prepared foods. The issuing bodies include 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, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home), and a county school system cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia). The geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia and Florida school districts dominate recent postings) with secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope mismatch: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (response due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for state supported living centers statewide, encompassing NIGP categories 380, 385, 390, and 393 with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomato products (response due April 6, 2026) seeking approximately 7,616 cases in multiple forms; and Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (response due April 27, 2026) for master grocery K-12 procurement covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens. No recent opportunities name eggplant purees — whether black enorma or otherwise — as a line item or focus. The code classification appears misaligned with the actual goods state and local institutions are purchasing; eggplant products, if procured at all, would likely be embedded in broader produce or specialty-foods contracts rather than solicited as a discrete commodity.
