UNSPSC 50423507: Dried florida market eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50423507 Dried florida market eggplants, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities dataset. The code's nominal scope—dried Florida market eggplants as a specific agricultural commodity—does not match the actual goods being solicited under related state and local food procurement. Recent opportunities across the dataset span fresh produce (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, eggs), dried legumes (pinto and red beans), proteins (beef, chicken, fish portions), dairy (cheese, milk, margarine), grains, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child-care meal services. None of the solicitations reviewed explicitly request dried eggplants or reference eggplant products. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000016233 in March 2026 and S2910000017140 in June 2026), demonstrating active procurement for dried legumes at scale, but these represent a narrower commodity class than the code name suggests and do not include eggplant varieties.

State and local buyers pursuing the broader fresh and processed produce category—including school districts, departments of corrections, and county nutrition programs across Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon—are actively issuing RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs for food service supply. However, procurement under UNSPSC 50423507 specifically for dried Florida market eggplants shows no recent activity. The code does not appear in any of the representative recent opportunities, and the agricultural commodities actually being purchased—fresh produce, dried beans, proteins, and dairy—align instead with higher-level family or class codes spanning produce categories broadly. Firms targeting this specific commodity code should verify current state and local demand through direct outreach to school nutrition departments, correctional facilities, and institutional food services rather than relying on recent public notices to indicate market traction.
