UNSPSC 50433506: Dried organic filipino eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50433506 Dried organic Filipino eggplants is a Commodity code, yet the recent opportunities posted under it involve dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) and broader institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and state agencies—not eggplants. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local buying activity. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state correctional agencies (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state procurement offices acting on behalf of criminal justice systems (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state education or nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas for a Child and Adult Care Food Program), and other state agencies (Oregon, Illinois, Georgia). The work being bought is bulk dried legumes and food supplies for institutional meal service, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning certifications, foreign-material thresholds, moisture content limits, and compliance with FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. Deliveries are typically palletized, FOB destination, with all-inclusive pricing incorporating transportation and fuel surcharges.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a June 2026 IFB (S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 response deadline, offering a combined 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 in increments of 880 bags, delivery included in all-inclusive pricing. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans (S2910000017140, due August 21, 2026) for institutional use. The City of Edinburg, Texas sought proposals under RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) for food and nonfood items supporting a CACFP meal program for 400 children, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5 percent of the lowest price. The Texas Comptroller issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) for cafeteria food products across 382 line items to supply multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations, with awards made per line item based on best value and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applied to all purchases. Illinois and Georgia also posted broad food-procurement solicitations in 2026.
