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 that nominally names a single produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations under this code show little relevant activity. The code appears to encompass dried beans and legumes for institutional bulk procurement, including kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans for correctional facilities, child-care food programs, and other state agencies. State and local governments buy these products in large quantities—measured in hundreds of bags or tens of thousands of pounds—for meal service and food preparation in correctional institutions, schools, food service programs, and other public facilities. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city governments, and child-care program operators. The work is straightforward commodity procurement with emphasis on USDA-consistent grading, food-safety compliance, triple-cleaning standards where specified, bulk packaging (typically palletized), and delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service sites.

The geographic spread centers on the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent activity in Georgia (Georgia Correctional Industries and the State of Georgia), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (City of Edinburg and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Illinois (State of Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia Correctional Industries IFB for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027), with delivery in 880-bag increments and all-inclusive pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (solicitation S2910000017140), with combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products (solicitation 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations with FOB destination delivery to six distribution points and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee.
