UNSPSC 50426213: Dried marrow squash

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

UNSPSC 50426213 Dried marrow squash (Commodity) does not align with the actual work state and local governments are currently buying under this code designation. Recent opportunities posted under this code span dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—procured for correctional facilities, institutional food service, child and adult care programs, and cafeteria supply to multiple state warehouse locations. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and city and county food-service programs are the primary issuing bodies. The scope is institutional bulk dried-bean procurement with detailed USDA grading, moisture-content, and cleanliness specifications; deliveries in large quantities (880-bag increments to 42,500-pound orders); and compliance with FDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice standards. No recent opportunities specifically name dried marrow squash; the code appears misaligned with actual state and local purchasing activity in the opportunities block.

Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois based on recent solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) posted a 42,500-pound dried pinto and red beans bid (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers, FOB destination to Salem, and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive pricing and strict specification compliance. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP2026017 for CACFP meal-program supplies including dried beans and proteins for 400 children (due August 4, 2026), with a local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans and proteins (extended due date May 4, 2026) with awards to single vendors per line item and optional one-year renewals through August 31, 2029. Given the mismatch between the code name and the commodities actually being procured, this code's relevance to dried-marrow-squash vendors is minimal; pursuit activity should focus on beans-oriented suppliers or clarification with issuing jurisdictions on correct commodity coding.
