UNSPSC 50433908: Dried organic snake gourd

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

UNSPSC 50433908 Dried organic snake gourd is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, shows little relevant purchasing. The code's nominal scope—dried organic snake gourd—does not match the work actually being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve dried kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and broader food-supply contracts for institutional meal programs and correctional facilities, none of which involve snake gourd. State and local purchasing offices are using this code to procure staple dried legumes and institutional food items for correctional industries, child and adult care food programs, and state education and justice systems.

Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois are the primary issuing bodies posting under this code, reflecting heavy concentration among state correctional and institutional-food-service programs. Recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB (S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB (304T-26-300CF) for cafeteria food products across five geographic regions due May 4, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas's RFP (RFP2026017) for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies including proteins, beverages, and paper goods due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Activity is concentrated in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois, with no recent opportunities involving the code's stated commodity.
