UNSPSC 50436610: Dried organic cushaw squash

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

UNSPSC 50436610 Dried organic cushaw squash is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its scope. The single representative solicitation in the recent record is the City of Edinburg, Texas, CACFP Meal Program (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026), which lists dried squash as one item within a broad five-category food supply procurement serving approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily. The code nominally describes a specific dried vegetable product, yet the recent opportunities record shows no standalone solicitations for dried organic cushaw squash; instead, the item appears embedded in consolidated food supply RFPs where it competes alongside proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies. State and local food service procurement — whether for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, or child care operations — typically bundles produce, proteins, and staples into master grocery or main-line food service contracts rather than isolating individual dried vegetable SKUs for separate bids.

The Commodity code shows no concentrated activity across specific issuing bodies or geographies. School districts (Fairfax County Public Schools Virginia, Muscogee County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Georgia, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Douglas County Georgia) and state corrections departments (Texas TDCJ, Oregon ODOC) dominate the recent food procurement landscape, but none issued solicitations targeting dried organic cushaw squash as a named line item or primary commodity. The City of Edinburg RFP is the sole record naming the product, and it represents a single municipal child care procurement. Geographic spread across recent food service solicitations spans Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, but no state or region shows repeated, standalone demand for this specific commodity. Firms pursuing this code should monitor school district and institutional food service RFPs for embedded produce categories rather than expect dedicated dried-squash solicitations; the code's procurement reality differs substantially from its taxonomy label, and deal flow appears episodic and tied to bundled grocery aggregations rather than category-specific demand signals.
