UNSPSC 50433509: Dried organic italian eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50433509 Dried organic Italian eggplants is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific dried vegetable product, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit dried organic Italian eggplants. Instead, the most recent postings involve broad-based food procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations — spanning fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and master grocery contracts. The mismatch between the code's narrow product scope and the wide-ranging food sourcing being bought indicates that either the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or that the code itself sees negligible direct procurement activity. State and local buyers issuing under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and municipal agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas).

Recent opportunities span Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts and state procurement offices. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026017 for CACFP Meal Program food and nonfood items (due August 4, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans at $0.493 per pound historical pricing (due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic Texas warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2). The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than an active procurement category; vendors seeking work in dried specialty vegetables should monitor school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs more broadly rather than expect direct solicitations under this commodity code.
