UNSPSC 50413811: Organic tindoori gourds

The variety of organic gourds known as organic tindoori gourds

UNSPSC 50413811 Organic tindoori gourds (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific produce item — organic tindoori gourd varieties — but state and local solicitations tagged with this code procure general fresh produce and food service supplies across broad commodity categories rather than specialized organic produce lines. Recent opportunities from Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida school districts and departments request fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared food items for child nutrition and school lunch programs; none of the solicitations specify organic gourd products or emphasize organic certification as a buying requirement.

The mismatch between code scope and actual procurement suggests either a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged opportunities, or a divergence between the UNSPSC definition and real buying behavior under this code. School districts dominate the recent activity — including Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia cooperative) — alongside individual state procurement offices in Georgia. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, followed by Texas and Florida. Representative recent activity includes Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items with domestic sourcing and nutrition preferences; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP (due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown prioritization; and the Douglas County School System cooperative RFP (due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated spend of approximately $5.5 million. If your firm targets institutional food service and produce distribution, pursue the broader fresh-produce-family codes rather than this commodity designation.
