UNSPSC 50426611: Dried giant pumpkin squash

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

UNSPSC 50426611 Dried giant pumpkin squash, a Commodity code, shows minimal activity aligned with its nominal scope in recent state and local procurement. The single directly relevant opportunity appears in the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 IFB for dried pinto beans—a closely related dried legume product—but the recent opportunities block predominantly reflects broad food procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and municipal child nutrition programs where produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared foods dominate solicitations far more than dried specialty squash or legumes. The City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026) solicits five supply categories including vegetables and snacks but does not specify dried giant pumpkin squash. Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) encompasses over 76 grocery line items; Rockwood R-VI School District's child nutrition grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) covers over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, and prepared entrees but no dried squash. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) names 382 line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, and condiments—again, no dried giant pumpkin squash.

State and local buyers in this code tier source dried legumes and specialty produce primarily through correctional departments and school nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans in recent months—approximately 127,500 pounds in March 2026 (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026) and 42,500 pounds in June 2026 (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026)—indicating repeat institutional demand for triple-cleaned, U.S. No. 2 or better grade dried beans delivered FOB destination with one-year minimum shelf life. ODOC applies a 10 percent combined evaluation preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated or processed goods plus 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and awards to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; the June 2026 solicitation references the incumbent contractor Intersect USA at a historical price of $0.493 per pound. Beyond Oregon, the Illinois state government solicited quarterly weekly food orders (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026) and the State of Georgia issued fresh produce and general food and kitchen products bids (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026 and PE68504NONST2026000000006, due May 27, 2026), though full scopes are attached documents. The code shows concentrated activity in Oregon and scattered multi-state school district and institutional food programs, with no geographic concentration of dried-squash-specific demand visible in recent postings.
