UNSPSC 50493405: Organic easter egg eggplant purees

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

UNSPSC 50493405 Organic easter egg eggplant purees is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—pureed eggplant marketed as an organic specialty produce item—does not align with the nine recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code. Those opportunities predominantly solicit shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service: canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, condiments, and consumable supplies (containers, napkins, hairnets, trays, foil sheets) for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. A single Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation in June 2026 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes represents the closest match to the code's classification. The mismatch suggests the code may be a miscategorization by issuing bodies, or the UNSPSC taxonomy does not reflect how state and local procurement offices actually tag institutional food-service purchasing.

Activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas dominant—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued five of the nine visible opportunities between May and October 2026. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food packages; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for shelf-stable foods in October 2026 with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for canned tomatoes in June 2026 with a due date of June 19, 2026. The Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, referenced a prior 12-month volume of $1.5 million and included up to two renewal options. The character of issuing bodies—state health and corrections agencies, county boards, school districts—reflects institutional bulk food procurement rather than specialty produce retail. Vendors pursuing this code should verify actual commodity classification with issuing bodies before bid preparation.
