UNSPSC 50406711: Giant pumpkin squash

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as giant pumpkin squash

UNSPSC 50406711 Giant pumpkin squash, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh produce supplied to institutional food service operations, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior centers, and healthcare settings. State and local governments procure under this code through institutional cafeteria and food service contracts, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is primarily associated with broader fresh-produce and vegetable-supply categories rather than giant pumpkin squash specifically. The issuing bodies soliciting produce-related work include state departments of criminal justice and health services, school districts, county boards of education, municipal departments of human services, and specialized institutional food service authorities across multiple states. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers, issuing multiple fresh-produce and food-service solicitations over the past four months. School nutrition programs in Georgia and Illinois, along with institutional food service operations in Illinois and Texas, round out the mix of active procurement bodies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Texas TDCJ has issued multiple solicitations for fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional warehouse distribution and facility-level procurement (solicitation IW267376 for Palestine facility, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, and IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, all with October 2026 response dates). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted consumables and food-service bids for Lufkin and Mexia State Supported Living Centers on IFB notices (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0017798 and HHS0017799 due August 25, 2026). Georgia school districts—including Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, and Bryan County Schools—have solicited fresh produce for school nutrition programs through sealed bids and RFPs with response dates between May and June 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) with a 400-mile local-sourcing requirement and Wisconsin diversity-owned business preference. Collier County, Florida issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, a past-due notice). Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health have solicited fresh produce for facility operations. Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP for grocery products estimated at $969,460.94 (due June 24, 2026). The code shows no standardized pattern of set-asides, though multiple jurisdictions offer diversity certifications, local-vendor preferences, or small-business encouragement without formal restrictions.
