UNSPSC 50436613: Dried organic jarrahdale squash

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

UNSPSC 50436613 Dried organic jarrahdale squash is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific dried vegetable product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that narrow scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include dried kidney beans, dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and broader food-supply contracts covering proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and institutional meal components for correctional facilities, schools, and state agencies. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily corrections departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies or institutions, and municipalities administering child and adult care food programs (the City of Edinburg, Texas). The work involves institutional food procurement at scale—bulk dried legumes and complete food-supply packages for cafeteria and meal-service operations rather than specialty organic produce.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the most recent solicitations from Oregon (two bids for dried beans in June and August 2026), Georgia (kidney beans in October 2026), Texas (cafeteria products in May 2026 and CACFP meal program in August 2026), and Illinois (quarterly food order in June 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across 382 line items spanning proteins through condiments with delivery to six distribution points, and the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for CACFP meal program supplies to 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows consistent activity but the mismatch between the nominal commodity (dried organic jarrahdale squash) and the actual procurement (institutional dried legumes and broad food-supply contracts) suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local systems or that dried jarrahdale squash rarely appears as a standalone procurement item.
