UNSPSC 50436212: Dried organic kentucky field squash

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

UNSPSC 50436212 Dried organic Kentucky field squash, a Commodity code, does not appear in active state and local procurement activity based on recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope — a highly specific produce item — does not align with the diverse food and grocery solicitations recently posted across state agencies, school districts, and other public bodies. Recent opportunities in this category span broad food service procurement including fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and child nutrition program supplies, but none of the posted solicitations name dried organic Kentucky field squash or equivalent specialty produce items.

State and local buyers in the food-supply space are primarily school districts, state correctional agencies, and child nutrition programs soliciting fresh produce, dried beans, proteins, dairy, and staple groceries through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB vehicles. The Oregon Department of Corrections, for example, recently solicited dried pinto and red beans (March 2026) and pinto beans (June 2026) on ITB vehicles with FOB Destination and firm fixed pricing. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia) have all posted Master Grocery and produce procurement RFPs and ITBs in the first half of 2026, with annual contract values ranging into the millions for large districts and multi-vendor award patterns common. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and City of Edinburg (Texas child nutrition) solicited broad food categories covering proteins, vegetables, grains, and dairy. The commodity's narrow specificity—dried organic Kentucky field squash—falls outside the scope of these active procurements, which emphasize high-volume staple items and common produce varieties with demonstrated demand across multiple school years and distribution sites.
