UNSPSC 50483517: Sicilian eggplant purees

The variety of eggplants known as sicilian eggplants which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483517 Sicilian eggplant purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no solicitations for Sicilian eggplant purees or closely related specialty eggplant products. Instead, the code appears in state and local food-service procurement that spans broad fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared food categories—such as quarterly food orders for veterans' homes, supplemental foods for state hospitals and supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facility food supply. The work actually being solicited under this code number encompasses general grocery, produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies rather than niche eggplant-based products.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are state agencies (Illinois, Texas, Oregon), county school systems (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Douglas County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), and independent school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia). Recent opportunities dated January through June 2026 include Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections requesting canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools requesting food products across multiple categories including fresh and frozen produce, meats, and supplies (IFB PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools requesting Master Grocery K-12 distribution to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District requesting grocery items and Net Off Invoice products for 2026-27 (due April 29, 2026). Geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and state facility food service representing the dominant recent activity. The code shows active procurement but displays a clear mismatch between its nominal commodity (Sicilian eggplant purees) and the broad food-supply categories actually being solicited.
