UNSPSC 50433903: Dried organic bottle gourd

The variety of organic gourds known as organic bottle gourd that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50433903 Dried organic bottle gourd, a Commodity code, maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity that has been tagged under it. The recent opportunities on file—school nutrition programs, correctional facility food service, and institutional cafeteria supply—involve mainstream dried beans (pinto, red), fresh produce, groceries, and prepared foods, but none specify dried organic bottle gourd as a line item or procurement focus. The code's nominal scope does not match the solicitations currently being executed under it.

State and local governments active under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), a state corrections agency (Oregon Department of Corrections), a municipal child nutrition program (City of Edinburg, Texas), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois. The geographic spread spans Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia school districts and Oregon corrections procurement. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 and June 2026 solicitations for dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233 and S2910000017140, both closed), Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, bids due April 27, 2026), the Douglas County School System's February 2026 Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP for 30 districts across Georgia (RFP SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend of $5.5 million), and the City of Edinburg's July 2026 CACFP Meal Program procurement (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). The mismatch between the code name and the actual solicitation scope suggests either a data-entry or taxonomy-alignment error in the source; no recent state or local opportunity explicitly identifies dried organic bottle gourd as a specification or line item.
