UNSPSC 50406721: Chinese pumpkin

Variety of winter pumpkins known as chinese pumpkin.

UNSPSC 50406721 Chinese pumpkin is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy. State and local governments procure fresh produce, including pumpkins and other vegetables, primarily through institutional food-service contracts for correctional facilities, mental health centers, state-supported living facilities, school districts, senior services, and county parks. Recent solicitations show the code's scope extends to fresh fruits and vegetables supplied on recurring schedules—weekly, bi-weekly, or as-needed deliveries to support cafeteria operations, canteen supplies, food service programs under USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and National School Lunch Program guidelines, and commodity canning operations at correctional food warehouses.

The issuing-body mix is dominated by Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia school districts (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Schools), and Illinois state facilities (Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health). County governments and municipal parks departments (Collier County, Florida; City of San Antonio) also solicit under this code, alongside Head Start and cooperative purchasing entities. Texas and Georgia account for the preponderance of recent activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (including prepared foods and supplies) at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with bids due October 23, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to food warehouses (Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine locations), with responses due October 14–19, 2026; the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center, with quotes due September 3, 2026 under a small-business set-aside; and the Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026. Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (proposals due March 6, 2025) and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison (bids due July 29, 2026) show geographic preference and local-sourcing requirements common in school nutrition procurement.
