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 is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried vegetable products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations. The solicitations in this code's recent activity do not include dried butternut squash specifically; instead, they reflect purchasing of broader dried legumes (pinto and red beans), fresh produce, and general grocery items for meal programs. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited show a material mismatch — state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code to tag opportunities for dried beans, fresh fruits and vegetables, and assembled grocery supplies rather than dried butternut squash as a discrete product line.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all active in recent months. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) represent state institutional buyers. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and The Boys & Girls Club also appear. Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with school nutrition procurement concentrated in the Southeast. Representative recent solicitations include the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (IFB, approximately 900 line items, due April 29, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026 for service beginning July 1, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for dried butternut squash as a standalone commodity.
