UNSPSC 50403520: White eggplants

The variety of eggplants known as white eggplants

UNSPSC 50403520 White eggplants (Commodity) is a produce line item that state and local school districts and institutional food services buy as part of comprehensive fresh produce contracts, typically bundled within broader meal-service procurement rather than as standalone solicitations. Recent activity shows white eggplants are sourced alongside mixed vegetable lots in child nutrition and institutional feeding programs, though no solicitations in the dataset target eggplants specifically by variety.

State and local buyers pursuing fresh produce contracts include school nutrition programs across multiple states, institutional food services (chiefly the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and one child care provider. The issuing bodies span independent school districts (Northside ISD San Antonio, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District), county school systems (Bulloch County, Douglas County, Glynn County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Henry County, and Savannah-Chatham), state departments and agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), municipal food services (City of San Antonio senior services, Meriden Public Schools Connecticut), and Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). School districts dominate as repeat buyers, with Georgia school systems issuing the largest cluster of RFPs and IFBs over the past four months. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) issuing RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery five days per week to 117 campuses with a May 7, 2026 proposal deadline; Madison Metropolitan School District issuing RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (approximately 5,900 weekly servings) with a July 29, 2026 bid due date and sourcing requirements within 400 miles of Madison; and Head Start of Greater Dallas issuing IFB 26-GP for grocery products including produce with a June 24, 2026 response deadline and an estimated contract value of $969,460.94. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and Arizona. The code sees steady institutional demand but sparse standalone white eggplant solicitations; eggplants appear as one line item within broader fresh produce line sheets rather than as category-level procurement drivers.
