UNSPSC 50413802: Organic bitter gourd

The variety of organic gourds known as organic bitter gourd

UNSPSC 50413802 Organic bitter gourd (Commodity) represents fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food-service operations across parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and other public institutions. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local bodies buying fresh vegetables and produce for operational food services, institutional meal programs, and public concession facilities, though the opportunities cited span a broader produce category rather than organic bitter gourd specifically. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. The scope of work encompasses sourcing, delivery, and supply of fresh fruits and vegetables meeting food-safety standards, quality specifications, volume requirements, and seasonal availability constraints, with vendors typically responsible for transportation to designated locations and compliance with HACCP plans and health regulations.

Recent activity shows procurement spread across multiple states and institution types. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for three schools under the National School Lunch Program, with contract terms July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. The State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025 requiring diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce for multiple venues, with a three-year contract term and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition also solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period. School districts and county governments dominate recent activity, with Georgia and Florida showing current procurement momentum.
