UNSPSC 50436222: Dried organic sugar loaf squash

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

UNSPSC 50436222 Dried organic sugar loaf squash is a Commodity code that in practice covers bulk dried legumes and beans—not squash—procured for institutional food service by state correctional systems, school districts, and state purchasing consortia. Recent state and local opportunities soliciting under this code request kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans in 40-pound bags or larger quantities, delivered FOB destination to central distribution centers or institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Georgia, Oregon), state purchasing divisions on behalf of institutional customers (Illinois, Texas), and local school districts (City of Edinburg, Texas). The scope reflects commodity food procurement for high-volume meal preparation in prisons, schools, and care facilities, where bidders supply product meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaned specifications, and food-safety compliance including FDA and HACCP certifications, with all-inclusive pricing covering transportation and delivery to specified institutional warehouses.

Activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a solicitation (S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon fabrication and Oregon headquarters and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries issued a solicitation (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and electronic PDF submission; the State of Oregon posted a separate solicitation (S2910000017705) for triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal-program supplies including dried beans and proteins (RFP2026017) due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5% of the lowest price. The mismatch between the code name (dried organic sugar loaf squash) and actual purchases (legumes for institutional food service) signals a tagging inconsistency in the state and local procurement system; suppliers in this space should monitor commodity codes covering dried beans and institutional food supplies rather than rely on this squash-named code for lead generation.
