UNSPSC 50436612: Dried organic hubbard squash

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

UNSPSC 50436612 Dried organic hubbard squash is a Commodity code that in practice covers dried legumes and beans procured for institutional food service — a scope misaligned with the code's nominal product name. State and local government buyers under this code are purchasing dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black beans) in bulk quantities for correctional facilities, child care programs, and other institutional meal services. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and purchasing divisions, city governments operating food service programs, and state agencies procuring for educational and institutional use. Work solicited includes specification-driven competitive bidding for large-quantity dried-bean procurement with delivery terms, food-safety compliance documentation, and palletized shipment to institutional distribution centers.
