UNSPSC 50413403: Organic black enorma eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic bambino eggplants

UNSPSC 50413403 Organic black enorma eggplants is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh produce—primarily fruits and vegetables—for food-service operations at parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other institutional venues. The recent opportunities show that jurisdictions are buying produce as part of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases; the scope includes fresh vegetables alongside fruits, grains, dairy, and prepared foods, with emphasis on quality, food-safety compliance, delivery timelines, and compliance with domestic-sourcing and nutritional-standard preferences. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (parks and recreation), school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. The Early County Board of Education and Collier County Board of County Commissioners have both solicited food-service contracts that encompass fresh produce as a line item within larger food-supply scopes.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Marion County jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division's Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for North Collier Regional Park Food Services (due March 6, 2025), which requires vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple park venues; Marion Health Care Coalition's solicitation for produce proposals (due August 21, 2026); the State of Georgia's request for bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. These solicitations underscore that produce procurement at the state and local level is transactional and volume-driven, embedded in larger food-service ecosystems rather than treated as a standalone commodity category.
