UNSPSC 50433517: Dried organic sicilian eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50433517 Dried organic Sicilian eggplants is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities indexed under it show little activity directly aligned with the code's narrow scope. Of the thirteen opportunities posted between January and July 2026, only one—the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 procurement of dried pinto beans—involves a dried vegetable product; the remaining twelve solicitations concern fresh produce, frozen and canned foods, comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, and prepared entrees. The code appears to be either mistagged across most of these opportunities or sees minimal standalone procurement demand for the specific product category it names.

State and local buyers posting under this code tier include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County systems in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments of corrections in Oregon and Texas, a city child nutrition program in Texas, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple Georgia districts. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 20, 2026, ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans at approximately $0.43 per pound (previous incumbent rate), Fairfax County Public Schools' April 27, 2026, IFB for Master Grocery K-12 grocery products across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly Monday–Friday delivery, and Rockwood R-VI School District's April 29, 2026, electronic bid solicitation for over 900 grocery line items with anticipated contract award June 4, 2026. Dried organic Sicilian eggplants, if sought at all under this code, would compete within broader dried-vegetable or specialty-ingredient procurements rather than as a standalone line item.
