UNSPSC 50436215: Dried organic miniature squash

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

UNSPSC 50436215 Dried organic miniature squash is a Commodity code with scope that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—and cafeteria food products for institutional meal service, not dried squash. State and local governments buying under this code tier are primarily correctional agencies, state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices procuring on behalf of institutional food service, and municipal governments supporting child and adult care food programs. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia purchasing office, the State of Illinois, and the City of Edinburg, Texas appear as issuing bodies in recent solicitations. The scope of work actually being solicited—bulk dried legumes for institutional cooking and weekly food orders for cafeteria operations serving state agencies, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs—diverges materially from the code's nominal commodity name.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued solicitations for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (solicitation S2910000017140) and dried black beans due August 21, 2026 (S2910000017705), both specifying triple-cleaned product meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards, with a 10% Oregon preference applied for evaluation. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026 (92100ERFQ0020612027). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables due May 4, 2026 (304T26300CF, extended via addendum). The City of Edinburg, Texas solicited food and nonfood items supporting a CACFP meal program for approximately 400 children ages 1-18 due August 4, 2026 (RFP2026017), with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows little recent activity aligned to dried squash procurement.
