UNSPSC 50423518: Dried thai eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50423518 Dried thai eggplants is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its scope. The source records one opportunity nominally tagged to this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026)—but that solicitation requests a broad range of food and nonfood items for child nutrition services, including beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, and janitorial supplies, with no specific mention of dried thai eggplants or any eggplant products. The remaining nine opportunities in the record span dried beans (Oregon Department of Corrections), fresh produce and eggs (multiple Georgia school districts and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), master grocery procurement (Fairfax County Public Schools), and general food supply and cafeteria products (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois, and school districts in Missouri and Georgia). None of these solicitations reference dried thai eggplants or specialty Asian produce items.

State and local buyers soliciting under dried produce and specialty vegetables appear to focus on commodity staples—dried pinto beans, dried red beans, and fresh seasonal produce—rather than niche items such as dried thai eggplants. The geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in Texas (Edinburg CACFP, TDCJ cafeteria foods), Georgia (multiple school district fresh produce and egg contracts), Oregon (ODOC dried beans), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Illinois (state food orders). The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity; vendors pursuing opportunities in dried produce or specialty vegetables may find stronger demand under commodity codes for dried beans, fresh produce, or general grocery supply rather than this specific commodity classification.
