UNSPSC 50433519: Dried organic violette di firenze eggplants

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic violette di firenze eggplants that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433519 Dried organic violette di firenze eggplants is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific variety of preserved eggplant, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a broader pattern of institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state agency meal service. The actual solicitations show state and local governments buying dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), fresh and frozen cafeteria staples (proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables), and weekly food-supply fulfillment for institutional kitchens rather than specialty eggplant products. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state purchasing offices (Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia), municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state agency food-service operations.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon and for bidders headquartered in Oregon; the incumbent contractor, Intersect USA, had supplied product at $0.493 per pound in August 2025. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, vegetables, fruits, condiments) across five geographic warehouse areas, with the response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026; bidders must submit specifications without compliance shortcuts and include all delivery costs in pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service to approximately 400 children daily, covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items with local-vendor preference applied under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows no relevant recent activity in specialty dried eggplant procurement.
