UNSPSC 50406723: Macre pumpkin

Variety of winter pumpkin known as macre pumpkins

UNSPSC 50406723 Macre pumpkin is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses fresh produce supply for institutional food service operations across state-supported facilities, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code sees activity from state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, school districts, and county or municipal senior services divisions procuring fresh vegetables and related produce items as part of broader food-service contracts. Recent opportunities show purchasing focused on fresh fruits, vegetables, and produce-related items delivered to institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and food warehouses—work that ranges from standalone produce procurement to integrated food-service supply agreements that bundle produce with frozen items, dairy, proteins, and disposable serviceware.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food service groceries at state-supported living centers (Lufkin, Mexia) with bids due in August and October 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited fresh fruit and vegetables for multiple food warehouses (Wynne, Snyder, Palestine) and bulk commodities including carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for canning with responses due in June and October 2026. Georgia school districts—including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County—have issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and local-sourced fruits and vegetables with deadlines ranging from May through June 2026. Illinois state facilities (Illinois Department of Corrections at Joliet, Illinois Department of Mental Health at Madden Mental Health Center) have solicited fresh produce on small-purchase and one-year contract bases due in August and September 2026. Additional activity appears in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District seeking fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for a USDA program with delivery within 400 miles, bid due July 2026), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners seeking food-service vendors for regional parks via ITN, due March 2025), Texas (City of San Antonio soliciting produce-market operations at senior centers, due May 2026), and North Carolina (Marion Health Care Coalition seeking produce vendors for 2026-2027, due August 2026). School districts and state correctional and health-services agencies dominate the issuer mix, with school nutrition programs emphasizing local or regional sourcing preferences and USDA compliance, while state facilities prioritize bulk volume, firm pricing, and guaranteed delivery timelines.
