UNSPSC 50426225: Dried waltham butternut squash

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

UNSPSC 50426225 Dried waltham butternut squash, a Commodity code, does not see active state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The posted solicitations instead reflect buying patterns across related dried-bean and institutional food categories—pinto beans, red beans, black beans, and kidney beans—solicited by state correctional agencies, departments of corrections, and food service programs serving institutional populations. The code's nominal product (dried waltham butternut squash) does not appear in any of the recent postings, signaling either low or episodic procurement volume under this specific commodity classification or a potential mismatch between the code assignment and actual state and local spending patterns for dried squash products.

State and local institutions procuring dried legumes and bulk food items typically issue RFQs, RFPs, or IFBs through department purchasing offices and state procurement divisions. Recent activity clusters in Georgia (Georgia Correctional Industries and the State of Georgia), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ and the City of Edinburg), and Illinois (State of Illinois). The Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-based fabrication and headquarters), the Texas Comptroller's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations, Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans, and the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for CACFP meal program supplies illustrate the institutional buyer base and multi-category scope typical of this procurement tier. Businesses pursuing this code should monitor dried-legume and bulk-food solicitations from correctional agencies and child nutrition programs rather than expect active demand specifically for dried waltham butternut squash.
