UNSPSC 50433902: Dried organic bitter gourd

The variety of organic gourds known as organic bitter gourd that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433902 Dried organic bitter gourd is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity does not align with its nominal scope. The most-recent opportunities block shows bids for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broad cafeteria food products, but no solicitations specifically for dried organic bitter gourd. The opportunities span institutional food service — correctional systems, school meal programs, and state agency dining — where procurement offices source staple dried legumes in bulk for kitchen and meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division for TDCJ, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal government entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Correctional systems and state agencies appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent opportunities, reflecting the institutional concentration of dried-legume purchasing.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 due date, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation advantage and an incumbent historical price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments with an October 9, 2026 response deadline, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five Texas geographic areas with an extended May 4, 2026 deadline. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a due date of August 4, 2026. The code shows no recent relevant activity matching its stated commodity scope.
