UNSPSC 50426217: Dried pattypan squash

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

UNSPSC 50426217 Dried pattypan squash is a Commodity code that maps to a narrow dried-vegetable product category, but recent state and local solicitations show no direct procurement of dried pattypan squash. The code sees minimal relevant activity; the recent opportunities block includes solicitations for dried pinto and red beans (Oregon Department of Corrections), fresh produce across multiple categories (Georgia and Georgia school districts), groceries for school nutrition and child care programs (Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Georgia), and cafeteria food products (Texas), but none specifically name dried pattypan squash or products directly aligned with this Commodity's scope. The issuing bodies buying dried goods under related codes span state departments (Oregon DOC, Illinois, Georgia, Texas), county school districts (Fairfax County Virginia, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Muscogee County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham Georgia, Douglas County Georgia), municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg Texas), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Across these jurisdictions, procurement for dried legumes and preserved vegetables occurs primarily in state correctional systems and large school districts serving thousands of daily meals.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, with Georgia showing the highest density of recent school nutrition produce and grocery solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016233 (127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026) and the Rockwood R-VI School District CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 (over 900 line items across snacks, vegetables, meats, and prepared foods due April 29, 2026). The City of Edinburg RFP2026017 for CACFP Meal Program 2025-2026 (due August 4, 2026) and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) represent the school district volume model. While dried beans and legumes appear regularly in state corrections and school nutrition contracts, dried pattypan squash does not surface in these recent solicitations; vendors pursuing this Commodity should expect limited state and local demand and should monitor institutional food service RFQs and master grocery contracts rather than commodity-specific solicitations.
