UNSPSC 50413407: Organic florida market eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic florida market eggplants

UNSPSC 50413407 Organic florida market eggplants is a Commodity code with little recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. State and local governments use this code for procurement of fresh produce, but the recent opportunities in the block show no solicitations specifically for eggplants—organic or otherwise—or produce exclusively from Florida. Instead, the code appears to have been applied broadly to general fresh-produce contracts serving school nutrition and child nutrition programs across multiple states. The work being solicited under related produce codes includes fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional food service, often bundled with eggs and specialty items, delivered weekly or multiple times weekly to school campuses, with emphasis on USDA compliance, food safety certifications (HACCP and GAP), temperature-controlled delivery, and Buy American sourcing preferences where applicable.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with most solicitations following annual or multi-year contracts running July to June aligned to school fiscal years. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issuing RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026, requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown produce prioritization; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) soliciting an RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables through the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program due March 11, 2026 with an estimated $600,000 annual budget; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting an IFB for 300+ food items including produce due June 8, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two areas, with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Liberty, Glynn, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch, and Douglas County school districts), Texas (Northside ISD, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Florida (Hillsborough County), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). No recent opportunities specifically name organic eggplants or Florida-sourced produce as primary procurement objects, suggesting the code may be misapplied to broader fresh-produce buys or that organic specialty produce is not a current focus for state and local school nutrition programs in the available opportunity set.
