UNSPSC 50413407: Organic florida market eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic florida market eggplants

UNSPSC 50413407 Organic Florida market eggplants (Commodity) describes fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operators, though recent opportunities in this code show wider produce-family sourcing rather than eggplants specifically. State and local governments buy organic and conventional fresh fruits and vegetables through this code to support school lunch programs, regional park concessions, health-care food service, and institutional dining operations. Issuing bodies include school districts (notably Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), health-care coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food bid, for example, specified approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits alongside meats, dairy, and grains for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools. The scope typically requires compliance with USDA specifications, food-safety protocols including HACCP plans, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery schedules that fit school or facility operating windows.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Marion County (location unspecified in source), with the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) representing school-district demand across a full produce-and-protein basket due June 8, 2026; Marion Health Care Coalition seeking produce proposals with an August 21, 2026 deadline; Collier County (Florida) operating a regional-park concession ITN (Invitation to Negotiate) due March 6, 2025 that includes food-service scope; and the State of Georgia soliciting food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. School districts and regional food-service operators dominate the issuing-body mix. Most opportunities bundle produce with broader food-service or meal-program categories rather than isolating eggplants or a single variety, suggesting procurement occurs through broader commodity-family RFQ and IFB cycles rather than narrow SKU-level requests.
