UNSPSC 50483505: Easter egg eggplant purees

The variety of eggplants known as easter egg eggplants which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483505 Easter egg eggplant purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity under this category. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect generic institutional food service buying — primarily shelf-stable and prepared food products, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, canned goods, and food service consumables — rather than the specialized vegetable puree product the code nominates. State and local governments soliciting under this code are issuing bodies such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (procuring for state-supported living centers), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county departments of nutrition (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These jurisdictions issue IFBs and IWQs (informal written quotes) for multi-line-item food service contracts serving cafeterias, canteens, and dining operations at facilities including schools, correctional institutions, and residential care centers.

Recent solicitation activity appears concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, and canned proteins (due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products including fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with an Oregon-fabricated goods preference and a prior case price of $13.75 from California Healthy Harvest (June 19, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products encompassed approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution points (due May 4, 2026). Contract values where disclosed range from historical guidance of $1.5 million annually (HHSC El Paso facility) to a maximum potential of $4.5 million over three years for supplemental food and consumables across multiple state hospitals and supported living centers. The code shows no recent solicitations for Easter egg eggplant purees specifically, indicating either minimal state and local demand for this product line or persistent tagging misalignment between the procurement notice system and this UNSPSC category.
