UNSPSC 50426229: Dried zucchini squash

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

UNSPSC 50426229 Dried zucchini squash (Commodity) represents a narrow produce category that state and local governments procure almost exclusively as part of broader school nutrition or institutional food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The code shows minimal dedicated solicitation activity; instead, dried zucchini appears incidentally within master grocery or fresh-produce aggregations that school districts, correctional agencies, and food service programs issue. When it does appear, it is bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food products in multi-category IFBs and RFPs serving daily meal operations for student populations, institutional inmates, or child nutrition programs across a fiscal year.

Recent activity concentrates in school districts and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) is procuring food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily under a five-category supply structure that includes vegetables but does not isolate dried zucchini as a line item. Similarly, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) is soliciting Master Grocery K-12 supply across 45 schools with over 76 items spanning multiple categories, the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (due April 29, 2026) is bidding over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office (IFB 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) is procuring approximately 382 food line items across five regional warehouse areas. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate bids for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) and dried pinto beans alone (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026), indicating institutional appetite for dried legume categories. Dried zucchini squash itself does not appear as a dedicated code or line-item focus in recent postings; the code's low visibility suggests either negligible state and local demand, vendor consolidation under broader produce agreements, or mislabeling in the original taxonomy assignment.
