UNSPSC 50493400: Organic eggplant purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic eggplants which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493400 Organic eggplant purees is a Class code that spans food products for institutional food service operations, though recent state and local opportunities show little activity directly tied to organic eggplant purees specifically. Instead, the code appears to sit within a broader family of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable produce purchases that state and local agencies solicit as part of comprehensive food-service procurements for state-supported facilities, schools, correctional institutions, and senior services programs. State and local governments buy under this code as a component of larger consumables contracts that include proteins, dairy, grains, canned and frozen vegetables, and food service supplies rather than as standalone specialty-produce line items. Issuing bodies include Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the State of Illinois, and the Oregon Department of Corrections. School districts and state-supported living centers represent the plurality of recent solicitors, reflecting sustained demand for nutrition programs and residential food service.

Recent opportunities anchor the code's actual procurement activity in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery required within seven days of order; the same agency posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and renewal options through 2028. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026, requesting quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables (due October 19, 2026) for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia posted a school nutrition food bid on May 11, 2026, for nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories across five schools (bids due June 5, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomatoes procurement (S2910000017145, June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent. No recent opportunities name organic eggplant purees as a specific line item or primary deliverable, suggesting the code may be misaligned with current procurement activity or that such specialty produce is purchased through broader category frameworks rather than as a dedicated commodity.
