UNSPSC 50593908: Dried Non GMO snake gourd

The variety of Non GMO gourds known as Non GMO snake gourd that have been dried for preservation. 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 50593908 Dried Non GMO snake gourd is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The single posting in the source — Bridgeport's grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) — tags the opportunity under the code but does not actually solicit dried non-GMO snake gourd. The Bridgeport RFQ instead covers over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat for school nutrition, with strict Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural content), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance, and delivery to schools and a central warehouse Monday through Friday. The remaining recent opportunities in the source — fresh produce contracts from Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County; senior meal services from Hillsborough County; a food-supply RFP from Texas Health and Human Services; and grocery bids from Meriden Public Schools, Fairfax County, and Bulloch County — all address mainstream school nutrition and institutional food service, not dried snake gourd or specialty non-GMO items.

The code shows no issuing-body pattern, no geographic concentration, and no representative recent opportunities that actually procure dried non-GMO snake gourd at the Commodity level. State and local procurement of specialty dried vegetables under this specific code does not appear active in the recent solicitation record.
