UNSPSC 50436218: Dried organic rondini squash

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

UNSPSC 50436218 Dried organic rondini squash is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect purchases of organic rondini squash. Instead, the code carries bids for dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—procured by state correctional and institutional food-service operations, state departments of corrections, and municipal food programs. The work being solicited is the supply of dried legumes meeting USDA or equivalent grading standards, triple-cleaned to remove debris and foreign material, in bulk quantities suitable for institutional meal preparation and delivery to correctional facilities, educational institutions, and state agencies. Issuing bodies include state correctional industries departments (Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon), statewide procurement divisions procuring on behalf of criminal-justice agencies (Texas), state institutional-food programs (Illinois), and municipal school-nutrition programs operating child and adult care food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas).

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections purchasing approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, offering a combined 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon fabrication and headquarters; Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with bids due October 9, 2026; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issuing an Invitation for Bid for cafeteria food products including dried beans across five geographic warehouse areas with a response date extended to May 4, 2026; the City of Edinburg requesting food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily under RFP 2026-017 with proposals due August 4, 2026 and a local-vendor preference applying; and the State of Oregon requesting dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with bids due August 21, 2026. The code shows no recent activity aligned with organic rondini squash procurement, indicating a classification mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current state and local buying practice under it.
