UNSPSC 50436604: Dried organic big max squash

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

UNSPSC 50436604 Dried organic big max squash, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity that aligns with its nominal scope. The code describes a specific dried vegetable product, yet the recent opportunities posted under this designation span broad food service procurement across school districts, corrections facilities, and municipal child nutrition programs — encompassing proteins, fresh produce, dairy, grains, beverages, and supplies rather than dried squash specifically. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) is requesting food and nonfood items for a CACFP meal program serving approximately 400 children daily across five supply categories; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply five geographic warehouse areas; and the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026 and S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) issued separate bids for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 127,500 and 42,500 pounds respectively. The mismatch between the code's literal product definition and the actual work being procured suggests that issuers are tagging broader food-supply opportunities with this commodity code rather than sourcing dried organic big max squash as a line-item purchase.

Issuing bodies span state departments, county and municipal school districts, and state corrections agencies across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice in the recent block, both times for dried beans procurement at specified per-pound pricing and delivery to Salem; school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (due April 29, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) have issued broader grocery and produce contracts. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Missouri and Virginia. The code's recent-opportunity profile does not support a pursue recommendation for vendors supplying dried organic squash specifically; opportunities tagged under this code represent general food service procurement where dried squash, if procured at all, would be a minor line item among hundreds.
