UNSPSC 50426212: Dried kentucky field squash

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

UNSPSC 50426212 Dried Kentucky field squash, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried Kentucky field squash itself. Instead, the code is tagged against bids for dried kidney beans, dried pinto and red beans, dried black beans, and broader institutional food-supply contracts spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies. When the source material does not support a direct match to the code name, the code's utility for business development is limited—procurement professionals will find the code assigned to work that falls outside its stated commodity scope.

The issuing bodies in the sample include state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries), a state procurement office on behalf of a criminal-justice department (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for Texas Department of Criminal Justice), a state general procurement function (Georgia), a state agency (Illinois), and a municipal government (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas, with no single state dominating the sample. The representative opportunities show institutional food procurement via RFQ and IFB notices—the Georgia Correctional Industries kidney-bean RFQ due October 9, 2026, the Oregon ODOC dried-bean IFB for 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026, and the Texas TDCJ cafeteria-food-products IFB extended to May 4, 2026—but none of these align directly to the code's stated commodity. A business development professional should treat this code as misclassified in the available opportunities and pursue work only if the issuing body's broader procurement scope, rather than this specific code assignment, matches the firm's service or product line.
