UNSPSC 50436616: Dried organic rouge vif d'etampes squash

The variety of organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as organic rouge vif d'etampes squash that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436616 Dried organic rouge vif d'etampes squash, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity currently being solicited. Recent opportunities posted under or related to this code span food service supply across school districts, corrections departments, and child-care programs, but they center on staple dried legumes (pinto and red beans), fresh produce (apples, bananas, leafy greens, eggs), protein products, and general grocery items rather than specialty heirloom squash varieties. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate solicitations for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds due March 20, 2026, and 42,500 pounds due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items with response due May 4, 2026—all institutional food supply work, but none naming dried organic rouge vif d'etampes squash specifically.

Issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under codes in this category include state corrections departments (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County systems in Georgia), and municipal child-care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal service). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon. The code shows no recent competitive activity for organic or specialty squash products; vendors pursuing this category should monitor school nutrition and institutional food-service RFPs and IFBs to identify whether specialty produce lines emerge, but current solicitation patterns suggest commodity dried legumes, fresh fruit and vegetable staples, and mass-market grocery items dominate state and local purchasing in this commodity family.
