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 (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its scope. The five most recent solicitations tagged to this code include one infant-formula rebate contract, two grocery procurements for a state hospital, one school-lunch program bid, and one state food-supplies bid—none of which concern fermented soybean products or mejo specifically. The infant-formula contract does reference soy-based infant formula as a product line eligible for rebate pricing, but the procurement centers on rebate administration and logistics rather than the purchase of fermented soybeans themselves. The hospital and school-lunch groceries solicitations span broad food-service categories (proteins, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, prepared foods) and do not isolate fermented-soybean items as line items or vendor specializations.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (three solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and a single state procurement in Georgia, with one school-lunch bid from the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Texas HHSC's WIC Infant Formula Rebate contract (HHS0016707, IFB, due January 11, 2027) serves Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; the Big Spring State Hospital groceries bids (HHS0017660 and HHS0017660V2, IFB, closed or due August 28, 2026) cover approximately 100–110 food line items with historical annual spend of $32,226.36. The Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) procured over 1,100 line items for the National School Lunch Program, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The code does not currently reflect meaningful purchasing demand for fermented-soybean products or mejo under state and local government contracts.
