The variety of organic summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as organic early golden summer crookneck squash that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436208 Dried organic early golden summer crookneck squash is a Commodity code. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little activity aligned with its nominal scope; the solicitations retrieved are predominantly for dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties), general institutional food procurement, and cafeteria supplies rather than squash products. State and local governments buying through this code are institutional food buyers including correctional departments, state agencies, school meal programs, and state purchasing divisions. The issuing bodies span state correctional industries (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), state purchasing offices coordinating institutional procurement, and municipal food service programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, for a Child and Adult Care Food Program). These entities are sourcing dried legumes and bulk food staples in high volume for inmate populations, students, and care-facility residents, with delivery, packaging, and FDA or USDA compliance requirements typical of the activity.

Recent opportunities include the Georgia Department of Corrections requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments with bids due October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027); the Oregon Department of Corrections seeking approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026 (S2910000017705), offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon and for Oregon-headquartered bidders; the State of Oregon requesting dried black beans triple-cleaned to USDA standards with bids due August 21, 2026 (S2910000017140); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple categories with bids due May 4, 2026 (304T26300CF), extended via addendum from the original April 21 deadline. Activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with the largest-volume procurement evident in the TDCJ multi-category solicitation spanning 382 line items and six distribution points. The code shows active procurement but primarily for commodity dried beans and general institutional foods rather than the specialized squash product named in the taxonomy.
