UNSPSC 50426619: Dried warted hubbard squash

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

UNSPSC 50426619 Dried warted hubbard squash is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific vegetable product, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad food service and grocery procurement—school nutrition programs, correctional facility meal supply, child care meal services, and cafeteria operations—rather than dried squash specifically. The City of Edinburg, Texas Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Meal Program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) encompasses beverages, paper goods, food products including fruits and vegetables, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for approximately 400 children ages 1–18; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (Missouri) procurement includes over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, dairy, beverages, and prepared entrees for its 2026–27 school year (bids due April 29, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) encompasses approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, vegetables, and staple items for five geographic warehouse areas. Buyers include city governments, school districts, state corrections departments, and state nutrition agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, and Oregon, with school districts emerging as the dominant buyer type. The Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) targets 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens across Virginia with weekly deliveries; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid (26-34, due April 23, 2026) covers 72 items across 60 school sites; and the Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) seeks a primary distributor for 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend. Oregon's Department of Corrections issued two dried bean procurements—pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) for 42,500 pounds and dried pinto beans alone (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026) for 127,500 pounds—both FOB destination to Salem, suggesting commodity sourcing at scale. The code does not map cleanly to actual procurement; dried warted hubbard squash does not appear explicitly in any recent opportunity, indicating either misclassification at posting or minimal direct demand for this specific product form in current state and local food service operations.
