UNSPSC 50426226: Dried yellow bush scallop squash

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

UNSPSC 50426226 Dried yellow bush scallop squash, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single relevant opportunity in the source—the City of Edinburg, Texas, Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026)—lists dried yellow bush scallop squash as one line item among five broad supply categories (beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products) serving approximately 400 children daily. The actual scope of work under this code spans institutional food service procurement by school districts, municipalities, and state corrections and human services agencies, with a focus on bulk dried produce for cafeteria, child nutrition, and prison food service operations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and city governments (City of Edinburg, Texas). School nutrition programs and state corrections institutions emerge as the most active recent buyers.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. The identified opportunities span broader food supply contracts rather than dried squash specifically: the Texas Comptroller's Invitation for Bid for TDCJ cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and produce); Oregon Department of Corrections bids for dried pinto and red beans (ITB S-29100-00017140, due June 19, 2026, 42,500 pounds); Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens); and multiple Georgia school district fresh produce and eggs procurements through cooperative purchasing vehicles (Douglas County RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, serving 30 districts across two regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million by area). Dried squash does not appear prominently in representative recent bids; the commodity occupies a minor position within much larger institutional food service buys anchored by proteins, grains, dairy, and fresh produce.
