UNSPSC 50423512: Dried long striped eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50423512 Dried long striped eggplants is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried long striped eggplants—does not match the actual goods being solicited under it. Recent opportunities posted against this code involve dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), cafeteria and institutional food products, and Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies, none of which are eggplants. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state correctional systems (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions and departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), cities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and specialized food-service programs (Boys & Girls Club). The work actually being procured spans dried legumes in bulk (880-bag and 42,500-pound quantities for institutional meal preparation), multifamily food and supply bundles for correctional facilities and child nutrition programs, and brand-specific or equivalent food items for quarterly institutional meal cycles.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (two opportunities), Oregon (two opportunities), Texas (two opportunities), and Illinois (one opportunity). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 19, 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (triple-cleaned, FOB Salem, Oregon, with a historical price of $0.493 per pound), the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ posted October 2, 2026 for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (extended to May 4, 2026) encompassing approximately 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and produce across five TDCJ warehouse regions. The code shows no recent activity genuinely aligned to dried eggplants; vendors pursuing this code should verify category assignment with the issuing body before bid preparation, as the posted solicitations reflect institutional food sourcing rather than the code's stated commodity.
