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 (Commodity) shows limited recent state and local activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span dried beans and institutional food products for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies—work that diverges substantially from organic squash procurement. State and local governments do purchase bulk dried legumes and food staples for institutional meal service, including kitchen supplies and cafeteria items for prisons, schools, and social-service programs; however, the opportunities captured under this code reflect broader institutional food procurement rather than specialty produce categories. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments and divisions (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), and municipal or nonprofit food-service entities (City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Boys & Girls Club). Work is solicited as IFB or RFQ with delivery to institutional distribution centers on FOB Destination terms, all-inclusive pricing (no separate freight or fuel reimbursement), and compliance with USDA grading standards and food-safety regulations.

Geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Recent representative opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027), with deliveries in 880-bag increments and all-inclusive pricing; the State of Oregon's bid for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140) due June 19, 2026, requiring triple-cleaned product to U.S. No. 2 grade or better, FOB destination to Salem, with an incumbent historical price of $0.493 per pound; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products (304T26300CF) encompassing approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables, extended to May 4, 2026, with awards to single vendors per line item and an initial term through August 31, 2027. The code shows no recent activity specific to organic atlantic giant squash or comparable specialty produce; pursuit under this code warrants verification of actual commodity alignment with state and local buyers' current needs.
