UNSPSC 50493808: Organic snake gourd purees

The variety of organic gourds known as organic snake gourd which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493808 Organic snake gourd purees is a Commodity code that nominally covers organic gourd products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant buying. The source records no recent solicitations for organic snake gourd purees or related gourd-based products. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broad consumable food procurement — canned tomatoes, frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, condiments, shelf-stable staples, and food service supplies — none of which align with the code's specific product scope. This mismatch indicates the code is either rarely used by state and local agencies or is being applied inconsistently to food categories that should map to other commodity codes. The issuing bodies in the recent records include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), and correctional systems, all procuring through IFB or IWQ notices for facility food service.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include IFB HHS0018082 from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and IWQ 140229 from the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (due October 19, 2026) for shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services. An IFB from the Oregon Department of Corrections (due June 19, 2026) solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case from the prior year. These records reflect food service procurement for institutional buyers — residential facilities, schools, and corrections — but contain no evidence of organic gourd puree demand. Pursuing this code would require confirming whether the mismatch reflects data-entry error, consolidation of food products under a single commodity, or genuine inactivity in the market for the specific product this code names.
