UNSPSC 50426607: Dried cheese pumpkin

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as cheese pumpkin that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426607 Dried cheese pumpkin is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity centers on institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state agencies rather than the specific dried cheese pumpkin product the code nominally describes. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing bulk dried beans, grains, and prepared foods for large-scale meal service to incarcerated populations, school-age children, and other institutional residents. The issuing bodies are state correctional departments, state departments of corrections, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of criminal-justice agencies, city governments operating child-care food programs, and state agencies managing institutional food supply. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers in the recent-opportunities block, with Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois showing the most active procurement under or near this code.

The recent-opportunities block shows no active solicitations explicitly for dried cheese pumpkin. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects sourcing for dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), cafeteria food products (proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, canned goods), and weekly food orders for institutional meal programs. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans with delivery in increments of 880 bags and bids due October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027); the State of Oregon soliciting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 deadline and a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders (IFB S2910000017705); the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issuing an IFB on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty entrees with a May 4, 2026 response deadline extended from April 21; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, issuing RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for approximately 400 children daily with an August 4, 2026 deadline and a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows little activity aligned with its nominal commodity classification and warrants close review against actual procurement intent before pursuing.
