UNSPSC 50493419: Organic violette di firenze eggplant purees

The variety of organic eggplants known as organic violette di firenze eggplants which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493419 Organic violette di firenze eggplant purees is a Commodity code that captures the sale of specialty produce items to state and local institutions. However, the recent solicitation activity tagged under this code does not reflect purchases of eggplant purees or comparable organic specialty vegetables. Instead, the opportunities show state and local governments procuring broad consumable food and supplies inventories—shelf-stable proteins, canned goods, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, condiments, kitchen supplies, and paper products—for institutional food service operations at state supported living centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and county senior services. The buying pattern spans meal preparation and canteen operations across multiple facility types, with vendors expected to meet USDA grade standards, maintain FDA compliance, provide firm fixed pricing inclusive of delivery, and demonstrate capacity for high-volume distribution to multiple locations. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state agencies, reflecting institutional food service as a primary demand driver rather than specialty organic ingredient procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary representation in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and service supplies with delivery required within seven days; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for community services (quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent (bids due June 19, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (response deadline May 4, 2026). The code shows material recent activity but limited alignment with its stated commodity name; business development professionals should treat the recent-opportunity scope—broad institutional food and supplies—as the operational definition of what state and local procurement offices are actually buying under this classification.
