UNSPSC 50436219: Dried organic round squash

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

UNSPSC 50436219 Dried organic round squash, Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried organic squash as a discrete ingredient or product line—does not match the actual buying patterns in the opportunity records. Recent state and local food procurements tagged under dried-vegetable or produce categories cover broad grocery and meal-service supply contracts that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, grains, dairy, fresh produce, and staples, rather than soliciting specific dried vegetables as standalone commodity purchases. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent bids for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited cafeteria food products spanning multiple categories, but neither procurement isolates dried organic squash as a line item or explicitly names it in the available scope descriptions.

Issuing bodies purchasing food products in this code family include state corrections departments, school districts, and child nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The geographic spread reflects activity in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri), Southwest (Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with school nutrition services and state institutional food procurement driving the majority of recent volume. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) and the Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for master grocery K-12 supplies covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Neither solicitation explicitly names dried organic squash, and the available scope descriptions do not confirm that category-specific line items for dried organic squash are being procured at scale under this code.
