UNSPSC 50406713: Jarrahdale squash

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as jarrahdale squash

UNSPSC 50406713 Jarrahdale squash, a Commodity code, is rarely solicited under this specific classification in recent state and local procurement; the code does not reflect the bulk of fresh produce activity documented in this search period. Instead, state and local governments acquire fresh produce through broader commodity classifications and mixed food-service procurements. Recent opportunities naming fresh vegetables and fruits—including squash varieties—appear under general food-service, school nutrition, and institutional meal-support solicitations rather than under the Jarrahdale squash Commodity code specifically. The buying bodies span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia school districts and state procurement (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Illinois state facilities (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), Wisconsin school districts (Madison Metropolitan), Texas municipalities and special districts (City of San Antonio), and federal-funded child care providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission are repeat buyers, issuing multiple solicitations for fresh produce and prepared foods during the period.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple TDCJ fresh-produce RFPs, HHSC state-supported living center food service bids), Georgia (school district produce and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable procurements), and Illinois (state mental health and corrections facility food service). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Consumables Foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), soliciting food service supplies and prepared foods including fresh produce; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations IW267420 (Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026) and IW267411 (Wynne Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (fresh produce to Joliet Treatment Center, due September 3, 2026) under a small-business set-aside; and the Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 (local fresh fruits and vegetables, due June 22, 2026), requiring sourcing within 400 miles. School districts dominate recent activity in Georgia and Wisconsin, typically requiring fresh produce delivered to central warehouses or individual school sites under competitively bid or negotiated contracts running through the school or fiscal year with renewal options. The Commodity code itself shows little targeted recent procurement activity; vendors pursuing fresh-produce and vegetable contracts should monitor general food-service and school-nutrition category codes and issuer-specific portals rather than rely on Jarrahdale squash classification.
