UNSPSC 50436602: Dried organic atlantic giant squash

The variety of organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as organic atlantic giant squash that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436602 Dried organic Atlantic giant squash, a Commodity code, covers specialty dried produce items procured by state and local food service operators for institutional meal programs, though the recent opportunities block contains no active solicitations specifically for this product. The code does not see direct procurement activity in the state and local market based on the available recent-opportunities data.

The opportunities tagged under this code span a much broader scope: school districts, corrections departments, and municipal food programs are actively soliciting dried beans (pinto, red), fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery and food-supply contracts rather than specialty dried squash. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate invitations to bid for dried pinto and red beans in March and June 2026 (ITB S2910000016233 and S2910000017140, with response dates March 20, 2026 and June 19, 2026), and multiple school districts—including Fairfax County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System—solicited fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery contracts between February and May 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois also posted food supply solicitations under the same code designation. This mismatch indicates that the code, as applied in practice, captures institutional food procurement more broadly than the commodity name suggests. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete on dried commodity goods and fresh produce supply rather than specialty dried squash specifically, and should track school nutrition programs and correctional food service operations across multiple states as primary demand sources.
