UNSPSC 50436201: Dried organic boston marrow squash

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

UNSPSC 50436201 Dried organic boston marrow squash, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying dried legumes and bulk food staples for institutional meal service — predominantly corrections departments, child nutrition programs, and state food-supply operations. However, the recent opportunities posted do not include dried boston marrow squash; instead, the code's recent solicitations address kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and general cafeteria food products spanning proteins, grains, dairy, and produce. The issuing bodies are primarily state corrections and agriculture departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices acting on behalf of institutional users, and municipal entities managing child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual procurement activity suggests the code may be misapplied to generalist dried-legume and institutional-food solicitations, or the source does not capture squash-specific opportunities under this taxonomy.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% state-origin preference (5% for goods processed entirely in Oregon, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders), FOB destination to Salem, and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries posted RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet formatting rules. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum), with FOB destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points and single-vendor awards per line item. The State of Illinois and City of Edinburg solicited weekly and quarterly food orders with brand-specific or equal provisions; the Edinburg RFP for CACFP meal service (RFP 2026-017) applied local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5% of lowest price. Buyers emphasize USDA grading, triple-cleaning standards for dried beans, food-safety compliance (HACCP, FDA, Good Manufacturing Practice), and palletized FOB delivery with firm, all-inclusive pricing.
