UNSPSC 50413404: Organic chinese eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic chinese eggplants

UNSPSC 50413404 Organic Chinese eggplants is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce items for institutional food service, but recent state and local solicitations show no direct procurement activity specifically tagged to this code. The recent opportunities in the dataset are broadly categorized under general fresh produce, whole-meal food service, and child nutrition programs that span multiple produce varieties — apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, and eggs — but none explicitly solicit organic Chinese eggplants or other specialty Asian vegetables. The source does not identify whether this code is being used in state and local procurement, or whether the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and institutional food service produce procurement reflects inconsistent application of the UNSPSC taxonomy by issuing bodies.

School districts and regional education authorities dominate the recent activity, with solicitations from Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; and multiple Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Glynn County), plus a cooperative procurement through Douglas County School System serving 30 districts across Georgia. State procurement offices in Georgia also issued IFBs for general fresh produce. These jurisdictions are soliciting fresh produce primarily through RFP, IFB, and ITB notices with response windows typically 30 to 45 days from posting, and contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with renewal options. Evaluation favors lowest responsive and responsible bidding, compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, product quality, and on-time delivery to multiple school sites. No solicitations in the source identify organic or specialty Asian produce as a differentiator, nor do any reference Chinese eggplants by name.
