UNSPSC 50423508: Dried indian eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50423508 Dried indian eggplants is a Commodity code with little recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve dried beans — kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — solicited by correctional institutions, food-service programs, and state agencies for institutional meal preparation and bulk cooking. The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurements suggests that either the indexing is misaligned or the code has been repurposed in practice to capture dried legumes more broadly. State and local buyers under this code include state corrections departments, state food-purchasing divisions, municipal children's meal programs, and state educational institutions. The geographic spread covers Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon, with corrections agencies and state purchasing offices representing the primary issuing bodies.

Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) on October 2, 2026, for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery due October 9, 2026, on an all-inclusive pricing basis.
