UNSPSC 50172006: Tofu or bean curd

A type of food which is added with the coagulant agent to solidify after swelling of soybean in water and heating and squeezing the bean-curd refuse.

UNSPSC 50172006 Tofu or bean curd is a Commodity code, yet the most recent state and local solicitations tagged under it concern infant formula rebates, hospital groceries, and school lunch program food supplies—none of which involve tofu or bean curd products. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for WIC infant formula rebate contracts (HHS0016707, due January 11, 2027) spanning Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, with bids covering milk-based and soy-based formula in concentrated liquid, powdered, and ready-to-feed forms. The same state agency also solicited groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital under two related IFBs (HHS0017660 and HHS0017660V2, both in summer 2026), covering approximately 100 to 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, requested bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery products for the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), subject to Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients. The State of Georgia also posted a food and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), though the full scope was contained only in an attached document. None of these opportunities align with tofu or bean curd procurement; the code appears misapplied across all tagged records in the current dataset. State and local buyers pursuing this code should verify the UNSPSC classification directly with the issuing body before investing in bid preparation, as the discrepancy between code name and actual solicitation content suggests either systematic miscoding or a data mismatch in the sourcing system.
