UNSPSC 50493410: Organic japanese eggplant purees

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

UNSPSC 50493410 Organic Japanese eggplant purees is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities posted under this code since May 2026 cover shelf-stable food products including canned tomatoes, potatoes, and general food service supplies for state institutions, school districts, and corrections facilities — none of which mention organic eggplant purees or processed vegetable products of that specificity. The code designation appears misaligned with the actual scope of work being solicited, which centers on bulk staples, prepared foods, and food service consumables for institutional cafeterias, canteens, and nutrition programs rather than specialty or organic produce items.

State and local issuing bodies conducting food procurement under related commodity codes include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), county school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual usage of 1–24 cases per item; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026, previous award at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest in February 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional procurements in Illinois and Ben Hill County. Vendors pursuing food-service supply contracts should expect commodity-level pricing, firm delivery windows, product certification requirements, and references on similar institutional contracts.
