UNSPSC 50426223: Dried sweet dumpling squash

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

UNSPSC 50426223 Dried sweet dumpling squash is a Commodity code covering specific produce items for institutional food service, but the recent state and local opportunities block shows no solicitations for dried sweet dumpling squash itself. Instead, the code's recent activity centers on dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — procured by state correctional systems, state departments of corrections, and child care food programs for bulk institutional meal preparation. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois all posted bids for dried legumes in increments ranging from 880 bags to 42,500 pounds, all delivered on an all-inclusive, FOB-destination basis with detailed grading, cleanliness, and food-safety specifications tied to USDA and FDA standards. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (correctional systems, institutional food services) and municipalities administering federal child and adult care food programs; the work involves sourcing compliant, bulk-scale produce in high volumes suitable for institutional kitchen operations and meal service to inmate and youth populations.

Georgia and Oregon dominate recent activity under this code tier, with Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections each posting dried-bean solicitations between June and October 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies (including produce and related items) due August 4, 2026, requiring daily Monday-Friday deliveries before noon to serve approximately 400 children. The State of Oregon posted a dried black beans IFB due August 21, 2026, and the Oregon Department of Corrections posted a separate IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% Oregon-preference incentive (5% for goods fabricated or processed in-state and 5% for in-state headquarters). The Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, grains, and produce, with responses due May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21 via Addendum No. 2). All solicitations require firm all-inclusive pricing with transportation and fuel surcharges embedded; no separately reimbursable freight is permitted. Oregon's ODOC procurement referenced an incumbent contractor, Intersect USA, at a historical price of $0.493 per pound as of August 2025.
