UNSPSC 50426210: Dried gold squash

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

UNSPSC 50426210 Dried gold squash is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities filed under this code show little alignment with the nominal product — the source contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried gold squash. Instead, the code appears in records for broad food service procurements spanning multiple food categories, fresh produce, grocery items, and meal programs where dried squash may appear as one line item among hundreds. The actual buying pattern under this code, based on the recent opportunities, does not isolate or emphasize dried squash as a standalone procurement focus. State and local governments sourcing food products for institutional meal programs — school districts, correctional departments, and municipal youth services — use broad commodity codes to classify mixed food buys rather than single-ingredient line items, and dried squash, if purchased at all, likely represents a negligible volume within those procurements.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and municipal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, supporting a child and adult care food program). Geographic activity spans Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (response due May 4, 2026) encompassing 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, and condiments delivered to five TDCJ warehouse locations; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services bid for over 900 grocery line items (response due April 29, 2026) including snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, and prepared entrees; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools (response due February 18, 2026). The code shows no standalone market for dried gold squash in state and local procurement.
