UNSPSC 50473907: Canned or jarred organic smooth loofah

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

UNSPSC 50473907 Canned or jarred organic smooth loofah, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The source includes no contract opportunities soliciting organic smooth loofah or related personal-care products; instead, the recent opportunities uniformly involve food procurement—canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, and comprehensive grocery supply for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state supported living centers. The code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being bought by state and local agencies in the current market.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia dominate the recent activity, with individual districts or consolidated buying cooperatives issuing IFBs and RFPs for annual food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items and estimated values ranging from roughly $1.5 million to $9 million per contract year. State corrections departments (Oregon, Texas) and health and human services agencies (Texas) also procure regularly under food-related codes. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million), Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issuing IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (response due June 15, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia soliciting Master Grocery K-12 term contracts via IFB 2000004323 for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026). This code does not reflect actionable state and local procurement activity.
