UNSPSC 50436217: Dried organic pattypan squash

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

UNSPSC 50436217 Dried organic pattypan squash, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity — state and local governments solicited under this code in the recent opportunities block are seeking broad grocery items and fresh produce supply, not dried organic specialty vegetables. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) requested food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily, encompassing proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, and vegetables at scale; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) procured approximately 382 line items across multiple food categories including proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, fruits, and staple items for distribution across five geographic areas; and Rockwood R-VI School District (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) solicited over 900 grocery line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, cereals, dairy, beverages, and prepared entrees. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments, school districts, and municipal procurement offices purchasing bulk grocery and fresh produce for nutrition programs and institutional food service, with school nutrition procurement representing a significant portion of recent activity.

Geographic distribution spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Oregon, and Virginia, with particular concentration in Georgia school districts and Texas state entities. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) establishing a Master Grocery K-12 contract serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries; Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026) purchasing approximately 60 fresh produce line items with weekly delivery; and Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with approximately $4.4 million estimated annual spending for Area One. None of these solicitations specifically request dried organic specialty vegetables, indicating that the Commodity code's nominal scope diverges substantially from what state and local procurement offices are actually purchasing under this classification.
