UNSPSC 50493420: Organic white eggplant purees

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

UNSPSC 50493420 Organic white eggplant purees is a Commodity code that, despite its narrow nominal scope, sits within a much broader state and local procurement ecosystem for institutional food service supplies. State and local governments soliciting under this code actually purchase general consumable food products — fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, canned goods, pantry staples, condiments, and food service supplies — for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and other public institutions. The issuing bodies span state departments of health and human services, state correctional agencies, county and municipal government, and independent school districts. Recent opportunities show repeat solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and state hospitals, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and the Illinois Department of Human Services.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary presence in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), encompassing prepared foods and food service supplies across 22 line items with annual estimated quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item and seven-day delivery windows; the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent Oregon-product and resident-bidder preferences; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products across multiple categories including fresh produce, meat, dairy, and supplies for four school locations (due June 15, 2026); the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouses across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026); and Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, pasta, and sauces (due October 19, 2026). Buy American Act compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000, debarment and suspension certifications, and E-Verify requirements appear across nearly all recent solicitations; many require product samples, three verifiable references, and FOB Destination delivery with freight prepaid.
