UNSPSC 50463910: Canned or jarred tinda gourds

The variety of gourds known as tinda gourds that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463910 Canned or jarred tinda gourds (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code title names a specific vegetable product, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for tinda gourds or functionally equivalent canned gourd products. The posted opportunities span general food service procurement by Texas health and human services agencies, Georgia and Georgia school districts, Oregon corrections, Illinois state facilities, and Ben Hill County Schools—all buying broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh foods (canned vegetables, proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies) under overlapping commodity codes, but none specifically targeting tinda gourds or comparable Asian vegetable preserves. One Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation names canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026); another Texas HHSC posting covers supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items (HHS0016792V2); and Ben Hill County Schools requested sealed bids on school nutrition food across multiple categories (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026). The absence of tinda-gourds-specific line items in these detailed, multistate procurement notices suggests the commodity does not currently appear in state and local food-service contracting in meaningful volume. Vendors pursuing the code should conduct targeted outreach to institutional food-service programs (state facilities, correctional institutions, school districts) that source ethnic or specialty produce, but current market signals do not support active pursuit.
