UNSPSC 50406707: Cheese pumpkin

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as cheese pumpkin

UNSPSC 50406707 Cheese pumpkin, a Commodity code, does not map to the work state and local governments are currently procuring under recent solicitations. The most recent opportunities in the dataset—spanning school districts, county boards of education, state procurement offices, and other public bodies from February through July 2026—focus overwhelmingly on fresh produce supply contracts for child nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior services. Recent solicitations name specific items such as carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, apples, bananas, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, berries, and eggs, but cheese pumpkin does not appear as a line item in any of the posted RFPs, IFBs, or RFQs. The code's nominal scope suggests a specialized squash variety, yet the procurement activity in the source material reflects broad institutional demand for mainstream produce staples and processed foods meeting USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable or school nutrition program compliance.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including large systems such as Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Austin Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), McAllen Independent School District, and dozens of smaller Georgia county school boards, alongside state procurement offices in Texas and Georgia, one Head Start organization in Dallas, and specialized buyers such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and city and county senior services programs. Geographic activity is heavily concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (sealed bids due May 7, 2026), the Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with deliveries to a central warehouse in Cartersville, Georgia (proposals due June 22, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (bids due June 16, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for carrots (1,200 tons, bids due March 17, 2026) and white potatoes for canning (bulk quantities, bids due June 23, 2026). The mismatch between the code designation and actual procurement activity suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that cheese pumpkin is not a commodity state and local procurement bodies actively source.
