UNSPSC 50406715: Queensland blue squash

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as queensland blue squash

UNSPSC 50406715 Queensland blue squash, a Commodity code, names a specific produce item but does not appear in any recent state and local solicitation. The source contains no contract opportunity tagged with this code. Instead, recent activity under closely related produce procurement shows state and local governments purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables, prepared food products, and food service supplies through institutional food service contracts for correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living facilities across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments of criminal justice and health services, county and municipal food service authorities, independent school districts, Head Start programs, and specialized regional park districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting consumable foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to multiple warehouse locations and facilities under proposals due mid-October 2026, the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (due September 3, 2026), the Bartow County School System seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables under RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026), and the Madison Metropolitan School District procuring fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163 with a requirement for sourcing within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin (due July 29, 2026).

Geographic concentration centers on Texas, where the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts have posted multiple solicitations for institutional food supplies including produce, prepared foods, and food service items to support correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and warehouse distribution across multiple regions. Georgia school districts including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, and Bryan County have issued recent bids for fresh produce to support school nutrition programs with local-sourcing preferences and seasonal variety requirements. Illinois facilities including Joliet Treatment Center and Madden Mental Health Center are procuring weekly fresh produce deliveries. Wisconsin's Madison Metropolitan School District emphasizes produce sourced within 400 miles and within the state. Activity in other states is sparser, with Florida's Collier County and Texas Head Start programs representing additional issuing bodies. The code itself—Queensland blue squash—does not match the scope of recent solicitations, which address broad fresh produce categories (carrots, potatoes, apples, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, peppers) and prepared food products rather than a single specialty squash variety.
