UNSPSC 50493404: Organic chinese eggplant purees

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic chinese eggplants which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493404 Organic chinese eggplant purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific product in isolation; the recent opportunities tagged under this code actually represent broad food service and school nutrition procurement across multiple product categories—proteins, dairy, fresh produce, canned goods, condiments, and prepared items—where organic eggplant purees may appear as one line item among hundreds. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies (departments of corrections, health and human services, education, and veterans services) across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs driving the volume of solicitations. These buyers contract annually or quarterly for consolidated food supply, typically through IFB or RFP processes, and evaluate on price, delivery capability, product quality, and compliance with USDA/FDA standards and Buy American requirements.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables supplying state supported living centers with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026; due June 19, 2026) for canned tomatoes—7,616 cases—reflecting the typical volume and specificity of line-item procurement; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026; due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across four school sites with quarterly pricing adjustments; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (posted April 6, 2026; due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, require firm pricing for 12 months, demand compliance with Buy American Act provisions and HACCP/food safety protocols, and award on lowest responsive-responsible bid or best-value basis. Set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are absent from these solicitations. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri school districts, with secondary activity from state corrections and health agencies. This code category is not a distinct pursuit opportunity; suppliers should monitor school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs where line-item detail is disclosed in attached specifications.
