UNSPSC 50426612: Dried hubbard squash

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

UNSPSC 50426612 Dried hubbard squash, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity — the posted opportunities show no solicitations specifically seeking dried hubbard squash or related dried vegetable products. Recent opportunities tagged under this and adjacent codes center instead on broad food supply and produce contracts serving school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations, with buyers soliciting dried beans, fresh produce, fresh eggs, and general grocery items, but not dried hubbard squash as a line item or category focus. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent buying patterns suggests this Commodity occupies a narrow or dormant slot in state and local procurement activity.

School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia dominate recent solicitation volume across food supply codes, alongside state correctional and child nutrition agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple opportunities for dried bean procurement (pinto and mixed varieties) in March and June 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a broad cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF) in May 2026 with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 supply via IFB 2000004323 with a response date of April 27, 2026, while Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) and Muscogee County Schools (Georgia) each posted grocery and produce contracts in March and April 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, Child and Adult Care Food Program released RFP 2026-017 on July 16, 2026, due August 4, 2026. None of these solicitations identified dried hubbard squash as a specified commodity. Absent recent activity specific to this code, business development focus on adjacent commodity codes serving institutional food service may yield more productive opportunities.
