UNSPSC 50583810: Non GMO tinda gourds

The variety of Non GMO gourds known as Non GMO tinda gourds. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50583810 Non GMO tinda gourds, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The available opportunities tagged to this code describe procurements for general fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and school nutrition grocery items—none of which specifically reference tinda gourds, specialty gourd varieties, or non-GMO certification as a procurement requirement or line item.

The opportunities in the dataset span school nutrition programs, state food supply contracts, and child nutrition services across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri, with school districts accounting for the majority of recent solicitations. Representative procurements include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300+ food items and nonFood products for the National School Lunch Program; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) serving 83 elementary schools and 21 middle schools across San Antonio; and the State of Georgia's invitation for bid for fresh produce (IFB #4 2027-2026, due May 27, 2026). While these solicitations reference produce broadly and include requirements for specialty items, domestic sourcing, and whole-food preferences, none explicitly name tinda gourds, non-GMO certification, or specialty gourd procurement. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local purchasing patterns in the recent-opportunities dataset, suggesting limited or no current demand signal for this specific commodity at the state or local level.
