UNSPSC 50423910: Dried tinda gourds

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

UNSPSC 50423910 Dried tinda gourds, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code procure dried beans and institutional food supplies rather than tinda gourds specifically. State and local governments soliciting under dried-produce commodity codes typically buy bulk quantities of legumes and staple food items for correctional facilities, child-care and meal programs, and other institutional food service. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state purchasing offices, municipal governments, and city-managed food programs. Procurement occurs through IFBs and RFQs with electronic submission required; specifications typically call for USDA or equivalent grading standards, triple-cleaned products, compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements, and delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service sites.

The recent opportunities show activity in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB, due June 19, 2026), with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders and palletized FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days; the historical price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict bid-specification compliance requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouses (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026 after extension), encompassing approximately 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables with USDA grade certificates required and FOB destination delivery to six distribution points. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) serving 400 children daily with a local-vendor preference of 5% under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. This code shows little relevant recent activity — the solicitations tagged to it address commodity dried beans and institutional food supplies, not tinda gourds.
