UNSPSC 50413804: Organic calabash gourds

The variety of organic gourds known as organic calabash gourds

UNSPSC 50413804 Organic calabash gourds is a Commodity code with little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span a much broader food and produce category—fresh produce, grocery items, and child nutrition services—rather than the specific commodity of organic calabash gourds. School districts, county boards of education, and state departments are soliciting fresh produce, vegetables, fruits, eggs, and related food service items through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs, but none of the posted opportunities specifically reference calabash gourds, organic or otherwise. The code appears to have been assigned generically to multi-item food procurements rather than to opportunities targeting this particular commodity.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with school districts as the dominant issuing bodies. Representative solicitations include the Bulloch County School District's April 2026 local produce RFP (PE55612NONST2027000000031) covering 24 produce items within 200 miles of Bulloch County for the Farm to School program; Northside Independent School District's May 2026 fresh produce RFP (RFP2026048) for five-day-per-week delivery across 127 schools in the San Antonio area; Hillsborough County Public Schools' March 2026 USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP (26039RFQDST) targeting specialty fruits and vegetables for elementary schools; and the Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000047) through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 72 produce line items and eggs for 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending near $5.5 million combined. If pursuing opportunities under this code, verify that the issuing body is actually sourcing organic calabash gourds or similar specialty produce rather than standard commodity items, as the current activity suggests the code is being used as a placeholder for broader fresh-produce procurement.
