UNSPSC 50413810: Organic tinda gourds

The variety of organic gourds known as organic tinda gourds

UNSPSC 50413810 Organic tinda gourds is a Commodity code representing specialty fresh produce items procured by state and local food service operations. Recent state and local opportunities show that governments buy fresh produce—including fruits, vegetables, and specialty items—primarily through food service contracts for parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other public institutions. The solicitations reveal a mix of issuing bodies: county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state procurement offices (Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Scope varies from comprehensive produce provision with seasonal pricing adjustments to line-item fruit and vegetable components within broader food-service bids. Food safety compliance, product freshness guarantees, domestic sourcing preferences, and adherence to nutritional standards (such as low-sodium and whole-grain specifications in school nutrition programs) are recurring requirements. Vendors typically must carry liability insurance, comply with HACCP or food-safety protocols, provide recall procedures, and meet debarment verification thresholds on larger contracts.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. Collier County (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 response date and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce RFQ on August 7, 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026 covering fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 fiscal period. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 with bids due June 8, 2026, specifying 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with contract performance from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 deadline. School districts and state education procurement offices appear as frequent buyers, alongside county recreation and healthcare systems. Geographic activity includes Florida, Georgia, and multistate state-level procurement.
