UNSPSC 50423514: Dried ova eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50423514 Dried ova eggplants (Commodity) does not align with the actual work being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The most-recent opportunities posted under this code are for dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—and broader cafeteria food products and supply contracts, not dried eggplants. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) in increments of 880 bags with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections requested approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with FOB destination delivery to Salem and a combined 10% state-origin preference; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments across five geographic areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026). The issuing bodies span state correctional agencies, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of criminal justice departments, and city government entities supporting child nutrition programs. A mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities actually tagged under it suggests either a systematic coding error or that this Commodity code sees minimal activity aligned to its stated definition.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Pacific Northwest and South with secondary activity in Texas and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer of dried beans with documented pricing history (prior award at $0.493 per pound in August 2025 to Intersect USA) and standardized specifications (U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned, palletized on four-way wooden pallets, minimum one-year shelf life). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for a CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) serving 400 children daily across five supply categories with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows little relevant recent activity anchored to dried eggplants; the opportunities posted under it are materially unrelated to the code's stated definition and suggest a taxonomic mismatch rather than emerging procurement interest in the named commodity.
