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 that state and local governments procure as part of broader meal-service and food-supply contracts for public institutions, though the recent opportunities in the source material do not identify dried sweet dumpling squash as a line-item solicitation in its own right. School districts, state corrections departments, child nutrition programs, and other public-sector food service operations source dried produce and specialty vegetables through comprehensive grocery and meal-supply contracts that specify grade, packaging, shelf-life, and nutritional standards aligned with USDA and CACFP compliance requirements. The sourcing bodies include school districts of varying sizes (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC and Texas TDCJ), and child care program administrators (City of Edinburg, Texas, and others). Procurement notices for underlying categories—fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria food products, and master grocery contracts—show that state and local jurisdictions award these items on annual or multi-year terms, with pricing evaluated on lowest responsive bid or cost-plus-mark-up methodologies, and delivery required to central distribution centers or directly to school and facility locations on weekly or more frequent schedules.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, where recent solicitations span school districts, corrections facilities, and meal-service programs. Representative opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (response due May 4, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016233 for dried pinto beans (response due March 20, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response due April 27, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District issuing an IFB for child nutrition services grocery items (response due April 29, 2026); and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with an estimated annual spend of $5.5 million (response due March 4, 2026). The code itself shows no standalone solicitations for dried sweet dumpling squash; opportunities under broader grocery and produce codes are the primary vehicle for procurement of specialized dried vegetables when state and local governments require them.
