UNSPSC 50433501: Dried organic bambino eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50433501 Dried organic bambino eggplants is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity explicitly matching dried eggplants does not appear in the records provided. Instead, the code tags a diverse set of food service solicitations spanning school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations, none of which feature dried eggplants as a line item or primary focus. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller/TDCJ, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). These entities procure groceries, fresh produce, prepared entrees, proteins, dairy, and dry staples in bulk to feed student populations, incarcerated individuals, and children in care programs—but not dried specialty vegetables like bambino eggplants.

The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026) and 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) for institutional feeding; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 term contracts for 45 schools and distribution centers (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System procuring fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas). The code's tagging appears misaligned with actual procurement content—the recent opportunities reflect mainstream food service supply, not specialty dried vegetables, indicating either a data classification error or that dried organic bambino eggplants are not actively purchased by state and local governments at present.
