UNSPSC 50483909: Spiny bitter gourd purees

The variety of gourds known as spiny bitter gourd which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483909 Spiny bitter gourd purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual scope of state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for spiny bitter gourd purees or any other specialized gourd-based products; instead, the code is applied to broad-based school nutrition, institutional food service, and state agency food supply procurements spanning fresh produce, canned goods, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies across multiple states and jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Veterans Home), and one county-level institution (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center in Texas). The geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant share of recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products procurement (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) for state-supported living centers with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes solicitation (ITB S2910000017145, response due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026) serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, response due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one geographic area. The code's application appears inconsistent with its stated commodity name, suggesting either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or a data-mapping issue that should be verified before building sourcing strategy around this code.
