UNSPSC 50426201: Dried boston marrow squash

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as boston marrow squash that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426201 Dried boston marrow squash, a Commodity code, tracks state and local procurement of dried legumes and specialty produce for institutional food service. The recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for dried boston marrow squash itself; instead, state and local buyers are actively procuring dried kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and other dried legumes for correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state agencies. The work involves supplying bulk dried beans and legumes meeting USDA or state-equivalent grading standards, triple-cleaned to remove debris and contaminants, with moisture-content and defect specifications tailored to institutional cooking and meal preparation. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state food-purchasing divisions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), city procurement offices (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state institutional food-service programs. All recent opportunities require compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards, FOB or delivered pricing with all freight and handling included, and palletized or bulk delivery to central distribution points.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products serving multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations across five regions, with response due May 4, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid solicitation S2910000017140 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-based vendor preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for Oregon headquarters); Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026; and the State of Oregon's solicitation S2910000017705 for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026. The code shows active, recurring state-level demand for dried legumes but limited recent solicitation volume under the specific boston marrow squash commodity classification itself.
