UNSPSC 50436221: Dried organic stripetti squash

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

UNSPSC 50436221 Dried organic stripetti squash, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity that aligns with its nominal scope. The code's abstract description does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under it—recent solicitations posted since June 2026 target dried kidney beans, dried pinto and red beans, dried black beans, and cafeteria food products for correctional facilities, educational institutions, and child care programs, but none specifically procure dried organic stripetti squash. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted notices for dried-bean procurement and food-supply contracts, yet the actual commodity specified in those opportunities diverges from the code's title. The issuing bodies represent state corrections systems, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of corrections and education agencies, and municipal entities managing food-service programs for vulnerable populations.

Geographic activity in the recent block centers on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' IFB for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026) requesting 880-bag delivery increments with all-inclusive pricing; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with triple-cleaning requirements, U.S. No. 2 or better grade standards, and palletized FOB-destination delivery to Salem; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). No recent opportunities specify dried organic stripetti squash. This code shows little relevant procurement activity and appears to be either underutilized or systematically misaligned with actual state and local sourcing practice for this commodity.
