UNSPSC 50436210: Dried organic gold squash

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

UNSPSC 50436210 Dried organic gold squash (Commodity) is rarely appearing in recent state and local procurement activity; the code shows minimal relevant opportunities sourced between May and October 2026. When the code does surface, state and local governments are buying dried legumes and institutional food supplies for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies, but the recent opportunities documented involve kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and mixed cafeteria food products — not dried organic gold squash. The Georgia Department of Corrections Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, requiring 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with 10% evaluation preferences for Oregon-sourced or Oregon-headquartered suppliers; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2 from April 21).

Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), the City of Edinburg, Texas (for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service), and counties or school districts procuring through state systems. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried organic gold squash) and the actual opportunities documented (dried beans and multi-category food supplies) signals that either the code is not actively used for its stated commodity or procurement records are tagging unrelated food-supply work under this classification. Business development professionals should verify whether recent opportunities tagged to this code actually require dried organic gold squash or whether the posting reflects data-entry error or miscoding before committing pursuit resources.
