UNSPSC 50436224: Dried organic triple treat squash

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

UNSPSC 50436224 Dried organic triple treat squash, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit for dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—along with broader food-supply categories for correctional facilities, child care programs, and institutional meal services. A single Oregon procurement explicitly requests dried black beans triple-cleaned; the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ names kidney beans; and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid calls for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (organic triple treat squash) and the actual work being procured (institutional dried legumes and cafeteria food products) suggests that either the code is being misapplied by issuing bodies or the code itself does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns for specialty produce.

Issuing bodies pursuing dried-legume and institutional food-supply procurement span state corrections departments, state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of other state agencies, and municipal child care programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections and State of Oregon appear twice; Georgia Correctional Industries, the State of Georgia, the City of Edinburg Texas, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (procured through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) round out the mix. Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and the South, with Oregon and Georgia each showing multiple procurements between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026, with 5% Oregon-fabrication and 5% Oregon-headquarter preferences applied), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum, with single-vendor-per-line-item awards), and the City of Edinburg RFP for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items serving 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and evaluation weighted 30% cost, 25% qualifications, 25% technical approach, 20% menu quality).
