UNSPSC 50493400: Organic eggplant purees

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

UNSPSC 50493400 Organic eggplant purees, a Class code, does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show purchasing for broad food service categories—weekly food orders, institutional food supplies, fresh produce, canned goods, meat, dairy, and related kitchen consumables for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers—rather than any products containing eggplant or purees. State and local issuing bodies using food codes in this family include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia), and county school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, and Oregon. The code shows significant fragmentation across issuing bodies with no dominant repeat buyer; multiple school districts and state agencies each soliciting independently rather than through cooperative purchasing frameworks.

Representative recent activity spans the full geographic range. Illinois issued RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821 (due June 26, 2026) for quarterly food supply to the Illinois Veterans Home. Texas Health and Human Services Commission released IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical volume of $1.5 million annually. Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case from the prior purchase. School districts dominate the volume: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Douglas County School System (Georgia) released RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution supporting 32 schools and approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual spend of $9 million; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited separate bids for both Net Off Invoice products and grocery items (both due April 29, 2026) serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants. The code shows no relevant activity—the broad food and consumables being procured under this code designation bears no meaningful relationship to the specific commodity its name implies, signaling a classification mismatch rather than a specialized sourcing category.
