UNSPSC 50453902: Frozen organic bitter gourd

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

UNSPSC 50453902 Frozen organic bitter gourd is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen specialty produce items, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen bitter gourd specifically. Instead, Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Schools have posted opportunities for broad food-service sourcing — shelf-stable pantry staples, school lunch program components, and meal-support supplies — that span multiple commodity codes beyond this one. The issuing bodies active under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County), state departments (Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County), all seeking to stock food inventories for community services, institutional food programs, and K–12 nutrition operations.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, where Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with a response deadline of October 19, 2026, Early County Board of Education posted line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs with bids due June 8, 2026, and the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 bid deadline. The mismatch between the code's stated scope (frozen organic bitter gourd) and actual recent purchasing activity (shelf-stable pantry goods, institutional meal components, and kitchen supplies) suggests that this Commodity code either receives infrequent procurement activity or is inconsistently tagged by issuing bodies. The recent opportunities shown do not document procurement of frozen specialty produce, frozen organic produce, or bitter gourd in any form.
