UNSPSC 50413411: Organic long purple eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic long purple eggplants

UNSPSC 50413411 Organic long purple eggplants, a Commodity code, sees modest recent activity dominated by school nutrition procurement where eggplants and other fresh produce are bundled into broader food-service contracts rather than procured as stand-alone items. State and local governments source eggplants as part of comprehensive institutional meal programs serving students across elementary, middle, and high schools. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education, with occasional state-level procurement offices and regional buying cooperatives managing multi-district produce contracts. The scope of work under this code encompasses fresh-produce supply and delivery to school nutrition programs, cafeterias, and central warehouses, with vendors expected to maintain HACCP certification, cold-chain logistics, food traceability systems, and compliance with USDA food safety and Buy American standards; pricing is typically indexed to USDA terminal market reports or offered as cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements.

Recent solicitations show concentrated activity in Georgia and Texas school systems. Early County Board of Education (RFP PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) sought line-by-line food bids for approximately 300+ items including vegetables across three schools; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) requested fresh produce delivery five days per week to 47 schools with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance; Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, due April 14, 2026) bid approximately 60 produce items for 16 school locations; and Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026) solicited roughly 60 produce line items including fresh fruits and vegetables. Douglas County School System coordinated a multi-district RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering 30 Georgia school districts with an estimated combined spend of $5.5 million. State-level procurement appears in Georgia produce IFBs (PE68504NONST2026000000006, due May 27, 2026) and broader food-supply contracts.
