UNSPSC 50423901: Dried angled loofah

The variety of gourds known as angled loofah that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423901 Dried angled loofah, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span child nutrition services, school food supply contracts, institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, produce delivery, and grocery supply — none of which involve dried angled loofah products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations indicates that this Commodity code does not meaningfully track state and local purchasing patterns for the product it nominally describes.

The activity appearing under the code reflects broad institutional food service procurement across multiple states and issuing bodies, primarily school districts and state departments. Recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 contract via IFB with bids due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requesting child nutrition grocery items via electronic submission due April 29, 2026; the Muscogee County School District (Georgia) issuing an ITB for fresh produce due April 27, 2026; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via IFB with the extended deadline of May 4, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requesting CACFP meal program supplies via RFP due August 4, 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Missouri, with activity also visible in Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. The code appears to be a default or catch-all category for food service procurement rather than a specific product line, making it unsuitable for targeted business development in dried angled loofah or related specialty products.
