UNSPSC 50426224: Dried triple treat squash

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

UNSPSC 50426224 Dried triple treat squash (Commodity) is a narrowly defined ingredient category, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope — instead, solicitations tagged to this code request dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) for institutional food service and correctional-facility meal programs. State and local governments use this Commodity code to procure bulk dried legumes for cafeteria operations, correctional industries, child and adult care food programs, and state educational institutions. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments and purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state agencies (Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work itself comprises specification-driven procurement of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans in bulk quantities, with detailed requirements for moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, palletization, shelf life, FDA and HACCP compliance, and FOB destination delivery to institutional warehouses or distribution centers.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries requested bids for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with delivery due October 9, 2026, under RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, requiring all-inclusive pricing and completion of a detailed specification sheet without compliance shortcuts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning multiple line items across five geographic distribution points, with responses due May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21), and the initial contract term running through August 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals under RFP 2026-017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference applied under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; proposals were due August 4, 2026.
