UNSPSC 50436618: Dried organic valenciano squash

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

UNSPSC 50436618 Dried organic valenciano squash is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little to no alignment with the nominal scope. The most recent opportunities posted against related dried-bean and institutional-food-supply codes reveal active solicitation for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and comprehensive cafeteria food products across multiple state systems, but no recent solicitations specifically for dried valenciano squash. State and local governments purchasing under adjacent dried-vegetable and institutional-food commodity codes are acquiring bulk staples for correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and school meal services, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning thresholds, food-safety compliance, and palletized delivery to central distribution hubs. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments, school districts, state purchasing divisions, and municipal governments across Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois.

Recent activity in the dried-bean and food-supply space shows concentrated procurement from state correctional and institutional systems. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (due May 4, 2026, as extended). The City of Edinburg, Texas, also solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows no recent solicitation activity specific to dried valenciano squash; prospective vendors in dried-vegetable institutional procurement should monitor adjacent commodity codes for beans and allied dried-food products where actual state and local demand concentrates.
