UNSPSC 50413400: Organic eggplants

The type of organic vegetable known as organic eggplants

UNSPSC 50413400 Organic eggplants is a Class code that covers fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities under this code span a broader range of produce and food-service procurement rather than organic eggplants specifically. State and local governments use this code to source fresh fruits and vegetables for food-service operations, including parks and recreation concessions, healthcare facility meal programs, state institutional food service, and school lunch and breakfast programs. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, county boards of education, state purchasing offices, and healthcare coalitions. Solicitations range from specialized produce-only contracts to line-item food bids that bundle produce with proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. The work is commodity-oriented and heavily regulated by food-safety, USDA domestic-sourcing, and whole-grain mandates.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and at least one other state represented by the Marion Health Care Coalition. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (Solicitation 258360, due March 6, 2025, ITN), which includes produce components within a broader food-and-beverage concession contract evaluated on vendor qualifications, menu variety, food safety compliance, and local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points for Collier or Lee County permanent business address and residency). Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce-only RFQ (Solicitation SP0040000017708, due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026, IFB). Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-item food bid (Solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including produce, meats, dairy, and grains for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, and low-sodium formulations.
