UNSPSC 50413400: Organic eggplants

The type of organic vegetable known as organic eggplants

UNSPSC 50413400 Organic eggplants, a Class code, does not reflect the produce procurement activity actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities record shows no bidding activity specifically for organic eggplants or any narrow eggplant category. Instead, state and local procurement offices are issuing solicitations for comprehensive fresh produce supply to school nutrition programs, with eggplants—if included at all—as one commodity among dozens in broad-based produce contracts. The code's nominal scope (a single produce item) does not match the actual buying pattern, which centers on multi-category fresh fruit and vegetable supply agreements serving child nutrition, school breakfast and lunch programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Bulloch County School District, Douglas County School System, and Early County Board of Education), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District), and distributed activity in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Utah (Salt Lake City School District). Recent solicitations include the Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery (due May 7, 2026), the Bulloch County School District Invitation for Proposal for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026), the Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (due April 14, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending (due March 4, 2026). Pricing in these procurements is typically tied to USDA market reports, with delivery requirements spanning multiple school sites and multi-year terms featuring renewal options. The code shows substantial institutional procurement volume but zero specificity to organic eggplants as a standalone commodity.
