UNSPSC 50436603: Dried organic banana pink squash

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

UNSPSC 50436603 Dried organic banana pink squash (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity posted under this code. The source shows no procurement for dried organic banana pink squash; instead, recent opportunities have focused on institutional food procurement for beans (kidney, black, pinto, and red), fresh and frozen cafeteria food products, CACFP meal program supplies, and weekly food orders for state facilities. State and local governments use this code designation inconsistently or have tagged unrelated food-procurement activities to it. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), state agencies (Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia), and local jurisdictions (City of Edinburg, Texas). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon, with no material activity visible for dried organic banana pink squash specifically.

Recent opportunities demonstrate the mismatch plainly: Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the City of Edinburg, Texas issued an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, janitorial supplies, and nonfood products) due August 4, 2026 with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; and the Texas Comptroller issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, and produce for Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations across five geographic areas, due May 4, 2026. The code appears to receive mislabeled or broadly categorized food-procurement activity rather than solicitations for the specific commodity named.
