UNSPSC 50493810: Organic tinda gourd purees

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

UNSPSC 50493810, Organic tinda gourd purees, is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no actual solicitation for organic tinda gourd purees or any gourd-based products. Instead, the code captures a broad mix of general food procurement for state institutions, school districts, and correctional facilities — including proteins, dairy, frozen items, canned vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies sourced by Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Georgia and Georgia-based school districts, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The scope of work across these opportunities spans consumables for canteens and campus operations at state supported living centers, weekly food ordering for state facilities, school nutrition programs across multiple campuses, and wholesale food supply to correctional facility distribution centers. The recent opportunities show no vendor working under the nominal gourd-puree classification, suggesting either that the code assignment is erroneous or that organic tinda gourd purees do not feature in current state and local procurement activity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for consumables and food products — HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due August 25, 2026), HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, bids due July 13, 2026), and HHS0016792v2 (statewide supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers, bid response deadline March 19, 2026). Georgia school districts also appear repeatedly — Ben Hill County Schools (bids due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026 for shelf-stable food items). The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026). Given the complete absence of any actual organic tinda gourd puree sourcing in the recent opportunities, this code shows little relevant activity for business development purposes.
