UNSPSC 50413418: Organic thai eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic thai eggplants

UNSPSC 50413418 Organic thai eggplants is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—organic thai eggplants as a distinct produce line item—does not align with the procurement opportunities currently posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span institutional fresh-produce procurement for school nutrition programs and state food service, encompassing broad commodity purchases across apples, bananas, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, eggs, and dozens of other produce categories. None of the posted opportunities explicitly name thai eggplants or organic varieties as line items; the solicitations instead reflect generic school-lunch and institutional cafeteria supply chains where produce is bought by category (fruits, vegetables, prepared items) at scale, with pricing anchored to USDA terminal-market indices and domestic-sourcing preferences.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving public K–12 nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with state-level food service procurement from Georgia's Department of Education. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFQ due June 8, 2026), Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP for child nutrition (due May 7, 2026 in San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurement (cost-plus delivery fee, estimated annual budget $600,000, due March 11, 2026 in Tampa), and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for produce and eggs spanning 30 Georgia school districts (estimated $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two, due March 4, 2026). All contracts emphasize Buy American preferences, HACCP certification, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, and firm fixed pricing with prospective price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports. The code shows concentrated activity in Georgia and Texas; the mismatch between the Commodity's stated scope and the actual procurements suggests the code may be misapplied to institutional produce supply contracts, or thai eggplants represent a negligible line item within broader produce bids that do not surface distinctly in opportunity summaries.
