UNSPSC 50493416: Organic short tom eggplant purees

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

UNSPSC 50493416 Organic short tom eggplant purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being procured under this code by state and local governments. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for eggplant purees; instead, it returns a broad mix of school nutrition, corrections facility food service, and state health and human services food procurement that spans canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, coffee and condiments, meat and dairy products, and prepared entrees. The code designation appears misaligned with the purchasing activity. State and local governments procuring under this code (or that the code has been assigned to) are primarily school districts—including Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Douglas County in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and elsewhere—alongside state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), and state veterans homes (Illinois). No issuing body appears more than twice in the block, indicating a fragmented buyer base.

The geographic spread covers Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Illinois, and scattered other states, with no single region dominating. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools seeking a broad food bid with IFB due June 15, 2026 (posted May 19); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting supplemental food and consumables for state supported living centers with IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026 (posted June 11); the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, ITB S2910000017145) with response due June 19, 2026 (posted June 5); and Fairfax County Public Schools seeking Master Grocery K-12 services with IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026 (posted April 6). Activity is active and ongoing across multiple notice types (IFB, RFQ, RFP, ITB), though the code itself does not appear to map cleanly to the actual commodities being bought.
