UNSPSC 50423504: Dried chinese eggplants

The variety of eggplants known as chinese eggplants that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423504 Dried Chinese eggplants (Commodity) does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this Commodity code do not solicit dried eggplants; instead, they cover broad food supply for schools, correctional facilities, and child care programs, with emphasis on fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and pantry staples. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated product line.

State and local procurement activity under this code spans school districts, state correctional facilities, and state education departments across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple bids for dried beans (pinto and red), which are generic dried legumes rather than eggplants specifically; the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supplies including produce, proteins, and nonfood items via RFP 2026-017 due August 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 services due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 line items of child nutrition grocery items for 2026–27 due April 29, 2026; and the Muscogee County School District (Georgia) issued ITB 26-017 for fresh produce delivery due April 27, 2026. The mismatch between the code name (dried Chinese eggplants) and the actual procurement activity (general food supply, dried beans, fresh produce) suggests the code classification is either outdated or incorrectly applied in the source data.
