UNSPSC 50413412: Organic long striped eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic long striped eggplants

UNSPSC 50413412 Organic long striped eggplants, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity among state and local procurement opportunities. The sixteen recent solicitations tagged under this code span food service procurement by school districts, counties, and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, but none specifically target organic long striped eggplants or eggplants of any kind. Solicitations include comprehensive fresh produce contracts covering apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and dozens of other vegetables and fruits, but eggplants do not appear in any of the detailed specifications, bid line items, or scope statements. The code appears to have been applied to broader child nutrition and school lunch program procurements without matching the narrow commodity it nominally describes.

State and local food service procurement under fresh produce codes remains active and fragmented across school districts and county education departments. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) seeking fresh produce through RFP 2026-048 with a May 7, 2026 deadline; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) procuring specialty fruits and vegetables for a federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program through RFP 26039RFPDST with a March 11, 2026 deadline; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) issuing an invitation for proposal for locally-grown produce with a May 4, 2026 deadline; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) soliciting produce and eggs for 30 school districts through cooperative purchasing with a March 4, 2026 deadline. School nutrition procurements typically emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American sourcing, HACCP certification, weekly or twice-weekly delivery windows between early morning and early afternoon, and firm fixed pricing or quarterly redetermination. Business development teams should monitor broader fresh produce codes rather than this commodity code, as institutional food service demand concentrates on volume staples and mixed commodity offerings rather than single varietal items.
