UNSPSC 50473902: Canned or jarred organic bitter gourd

The variety of organic gourds known as organic bitter gourd that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473902 Canned or jarred organic bitter gourd, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen food-related solicitations across school districts, corrections departments, and health services agencies, but none of them specifically solicit canned or jarred organic bitter gourd. The opportunities instead cover broad categories such as weekly food orders, cafeteria food products, fresh produce, grocery items, and supplemental food and consumables for correctional facilities, state hospitals, and school nutrition programs. These solicitations name dozens of specific food line items—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, grains, condiments—but do not reference bitter gourd, organic or otherwise.

The issuing bodies represented are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and other state entities. Recent opportunities span Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Georgia. The code appears inactive for purposes of state and local procurement; if bitter gourd or similar specialty vegetables are being procured, they are either bundled into broader fresh-produce or grocery line items not separately classified, or demand for the commodity is too limited to generate standalone solicitations in the available sample.
