UNSPSC 50406720: Whangaparoa crown pumpkin

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as whangaparoa crown pumpkin

UNSPSC 50406720 Whangaparoa crown pumpkin is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The nominal code name—a specific cultivar of pumpkin grown in New Zealand—does not align with the scope of recent solicitations posted under it. The available opportunities consistently seek broad fresh produce categories (fruits, vegetables, and mixed grocery items) rather than a specialized pumpkin variety, suggesting either a tagging mismatch in the underlying database or inactive demand for this specific commodity line.

Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect institutional food service demand across school districts, criminal justice agencies, and senior services programs purchasing fresh produce for child nutrition, workforce feeding, and senior center programs. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent, Austin Independent, Hillsborough County, Meriden Public Schools, and others in Georgia, Texas, and Florida), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and specialized local entities (City of San Antonio senior services, Head Start programs). The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri, with Texas and Georgia accounting for the largest volume of recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program, requiring locally sourced produce within 400 miles and ready-to-eat packaging; Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for grocery products including frozen produce (due June 24, 2026, with an estimated value of $969,460.94); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple spring produce procurements (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes) due in June 2026; and numerous school district fresh produce contracts across Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Glynn County) with 2026-2027 school year delivery, all emphasizing quality, traceability, and compliance with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards. The code shows consistent activity but does not capture demand specific to the whangaparoa cultivar—pursue only if your firm supplies broad institutional produce lines, not specialty pumpkin varieties.
