UNSPSC 50436214: Dried organic middle eastern squash

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

UNSPSC 50436214 Dried organic middle eastern squash is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity supporting the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of dried organic middle eastern squash; instead, they span general grocery procurement, fresh produce, dried beans, and food service contracting for schools, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's specific product definition and the actual solicitations suggests the code sees limited direct use in state and local purchasing, or that issuing bodies are tagging broader food-service opportunities with this narrower commodity code.

State and local purchasing under related dried-goods and fresh-produce categories remains active across school districts, state departments of corrections, state nutrition programs, and county school systems, primarily in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' purchase of approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S-29100-00016233, due March 20, 2026) and the City of Edinburg, Texas' CACFP meal program procurement for food and nonfood items including produce and staples for 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) all solicited annual grocery and produce contracts in the first half of 2026. These opportunities typically weight cost between 25 and 50 percent of evaluation criteria, require firm pricing for contract terms, mandate USDA compliance and food-safety certifications, and often permit delivery to multiple school or distribution sites. No specific activity directly tied to dried organic middle eastern squash appears in the recent record.
