UNSPSC 50172005: Mejoo or fermented soybeans

A type of food which maintains and ferments the type of grain particle or makes and formulates for barley, wheat, rice and others with soybean as the main raw material to boil.

UNSPSC 50172005 Mejoo or fermented soybeans, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity tied to the fermented soybean products the code nominally describes. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad grocery and food service solicitation activity spanning proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and prepared foods for institutional feeding programs — institutional cafeterias, school lunch systems, and hospital food service — rather than specialty fermented soy products. State and local governments procuring under related grocery codes are seeking multiple food categories through institutional food service vendors and primary food distributors, not fermented soybeans as a discrete line item. The mix of issuing bodies includes state health and human services departments, school districts, school system food service cooperatives, and municipalities procuring on behalf of school boards, with school food service appearing as the dominant buying category across recent solicitations.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Connecticut, and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017660 on July 13, 2026 for groceries across approximately 110 line items for Big Spring State Hospital, with bids due July 27, 2026, covering a one-year contract from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with prior-year spend of $32,226.36.
