UNSPSC 50426202: Dried butternut squash

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

UNSPSC 50426202 Dried butternut squash, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity that aligns directly with its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly correctional agencies and institutional food-service operators procuring dried legumes and bulk food staples for meal programs, though the recent record contains no butternut squash solicitations specifically. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division), state agencies for institutional use (State of Oregon, State of Illinois), and municipal entities administering child and adult care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Work being solicited encompasses triple-cleaned dried beans meeting USDA grading standards, bulk proteins and produce for institutional kitchens, and food-supply categories supporting compliance with federal nutrition regulations such as the Child and Adult Care Food Program and state food-safety requirements. Institutional buyers typically specify palletization, shelf-life minimums, foreign-material limits, and FOB destination delivery terms as all-inclusive fixed pricing with no separate freight recovery.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois based on recent solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140) with a June 19, 2026 bid deadline and a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors; the State of Oregon issued a separate black-bean procurement (S2910000017705) due August 21, 2026. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027) with an October 9, 2026 response date, while the Texas Comptroller issued a broad cafeteria-food-products IFB (304T26300CF) on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice covering 382 line items across multiple warehouse locations with an extended May 4, 2026 deadline. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a CACFP meal program (RFP2026017) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code itself does not appear with frequency in recent state-local procurement; opportunities tagged to it involve dried legumes and institutional food supplies rather than butternut squash specifically.
