UNSPSC 50436813: Dried organic bittermelon

The type of organic vegetable known as organic bittermelon that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436813 Dried organic bittermelon (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's scope. The single recent solicitation tagged to this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas's RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies due August 4, 2026—treats dried organic bittermelon as one item within a broad food procurement spanning beverages, proteins, dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, snacks, paper goods, janitorial supplies, and nonfood kitchen products for approximately 400 children daily. The code does not appear to reflect what state and local governments are actually buying at scale under this designation; the recent opportunities block contains no additional solicitations explicitly requesting dried organic bittermelon, organic specialty vegetables, or related commodity items.

The Edinburg CACFP procurement is the only recent state or local opportunity supporting this code. Issuing bodies across the dataset—school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), state departments (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia, Illinois), and municipal entities—are soliciting dried beans, fresh produce, processed foods, and staple grocery items through RFP, IFB, and ITB vehicles with response dates ranging from March through August 2026. However, none of these opportunities specifically target dried organic bittermelon or specialty organic dried vegetables. Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, driven by school nutrition programs and institutional food service. This code warrants a skip for business development purposes unless your firm holds inventory or supply relationships in organic dried vegetables; the procurement signal here is too weak and the code too narrowly tailored to support consistent pursuit.
