UNSPSC 50436211: Dried organic jack be little squash

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

UNSPSC 50436211 Dried organic jack be little squash is a Commodity code under which state and local governments actually procure general dried and preserved vegetable products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly aligned with this specific commodity and instead reflects broader patterns of school district and correctional agency procurement of dried legumes and fresh produce. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026017 on July 16, 2026, for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal program serving 400 children daily, with response due August 4, 2026, encompassing beverages, paper goods, food products (proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks), janitorial supplies, and nonfood products across five supply categories. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) issued two sealed-bid ITBs for dried pinto and red beans—solicitation S2910000017140 released June 5, 2026, requesting approximately 42,500 pounds with response due June 19, 2026, and a prior ITB S-29100-00016233 released March 6, 2026, for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans with response due March 20, 2026. These procurement patterns demonstrate that state and local food service operations—particularly school districts, correctional systems, and child nutrition programs—source preserved vegetables and legumes as commodity items supporting large-scale meal preparation.

Issuing bodies pursuing this code span state departments of corrections (ODOC), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Douglas County School System, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia and Missouri), municipal child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and statewide procurement divisions (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ). The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas (Edinburg CACFP RFP, TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB 304T26300CF issued May 4, 2026), Oregon (ODOC dried bean procurements in March and June 2026), Georgia (state food supplies RFP PE55220NONST2026000000029 issued March 27, 2026; fresh produce and eggs RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative issued February 4, 2026), Virginia (Fairfax County Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 issued April 6, 2026), and Missouri (Rockwood School District grocery items solicitation issued March 31, 2026). The code shows limited direct solicitation activity for dried organic squash specifically; most recent opportunities cluster around dried legumes (beans) for correctional facilities and fresh produce and general grocery items for school nutrition programs, suggesting that procurement under this specific commodity code remains inactive or that state and local buyers classify dried vegetables and preserved squash within broader produce or grocery categories rather than as distinct line items.
