UNSPSC 50423517: Dried sicilian eggplants

The variety of eggplants known as sicilian eggplants that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423517 Dried Sicilian eggplants, a Commodity code, sees minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for this specific product, and the few food-related procurements posted reflect broader grocery and produce sourcing unrelated to dried eggplants.

State and local agencies sourcing under food-service and nutrition codes are primarily school districts, correctional agencies, and municipalities supporting child nutrition programs. The recent activity shows school districts across Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Texas (Edinburg) competing for master grocery contracts, fresh produce agreements, and annual food supply frameworks with response windows of 4–8 weeks. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois state procurement office are sourcing dried beans, fresh produce, and general grocery items through IFB and ITB processes. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with a response deadline of April 27, 2026, requiring bidders to supply 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries; the Rockwood School District Child Nutrition Services solicited grocery items for over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, meats, and prepared entrees, due April 29, 2026, with awards anticipated June 4, 2026. Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34) both issued fresh-produce contracts due in late April 2026, and the Douglas County School System procured food supply and distribution services for approximately $9 million annually through a February 18, 2026 RFP deadline. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two dried-bean solicitations in March and June 2026, the latter (S2910000017140) requesting 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with incumbent pricing at $0.493 per pound; the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal-program supplies via RFP 2026-017 due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with sporadic state-level procurements in Illinois and Georgia. This code does not align with documented recent procurement volume or patterns; vendors pursuing state and local food-service contracts should monitor broader grocery, produce, and dried-goods categories rather than the narrow dried-eggplant specification.
