UNSPSC 50453908: Frozen organic snake gourd

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

UNSPSC 50453908 Frozen organic snake gourd, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source shows no solicitations actually seeking frozen organic snake gourd or any similar frozen specialty produce item. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code—spanning February through June 2026—focus on broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations: fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), eggs, frozen and canned grocery staples, meats, poultry, dairy, grains, prepared entrees, spices, and ice cream. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact; vendors and procurement analysts should verify the correct commodity codes before pursuing these opportunities, as the actual work being bought bears no relation to frozen organic snake gourd.

School districts and state agencies across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas are the primary issuing bodies, with standout repeat activity from Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Decatur City Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas). Douglas County Schools issued two major RFPs in January and February 2026: one for food supply and distribution services (estimated $9 million annually for 32,500 students across 32 schools, due February 18, 2026) and another through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two geographic areas ($4.4 million and $1.1 million estimated spending, due March 4, 2026). Decatur City Schools posted an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with response due May 15, 2026, while Rockwood School District solicited grocery items (over 900 line items) due April 29, 2026, and Dallas ISD issued an RFP for food products outside its main commodity bids due April 2, 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and includes activity in Missouri and Texas; all opportunities require firm pricing, compliance with Buy American and food safety standards (HACCP plans, food recall procedures), minimum liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million), E-Verify authorization, and delivery to school locations or warehouses Monday through Friday.
