UNSPSC 50433502: Dried organic black beauty eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50433502 Dried organic black beauty eggplants is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty dried eggplant products — does not match the work actually being solicited in the available opportunity records. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code are instead procuring broad food-supply contracts spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and child-care food service; the commodity code appears to be a miscoding or catch-all classification rather than a direct reflection of dried organic eggplant demand.

Recent opportunities span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, and Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, and State of Georgia), and municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with solicitations issued between January and July 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program RFP (due August 4, 2026) seeking beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for approximately 400 children daily; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) spanning 382 line items of proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments across five warehouse locations; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) with estimated spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 school districts. The commodity code does not appear to support meaningful procurement activity in the specialty dried eggplant category.
