UNSPSC 50436619: Dried organic warted hubbard squash

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

UNSPSC 50436619 Dried organic warted hubbard squash, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity — none of the twelve recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026 solicited this specific product. The code's nominal scope — a specialized dried vegetable — sits within the broader dried goods and commodity food procurement that state and local agencies conduct, but the actual opportunities spanning the January-July 2026 window target staple proteins, fresh produce, eggs, grains, dairy, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care food services across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia.

The absence of dried hubbard squash in recent activity reflects the supply-side composition of child nutrition and institutional food service contracting, where purchasing offices weight commodity staples, fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins, and prepared entrees over specialty or organic dried vegetables. School districts from Fairfax County Public Schools to Rockwood R-VI, corrections agencies including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Oregon Department of Corrections, and municipal child care programs issue IFBs and RFPs for grocery items, fresh produce, and prepared foods on annual cycles. While the code remains part of the UNSPSC taxonomy for state purchasing systems, current demand appears concentrated in fresh-market and conventional dried-commodity categories rather than the organic specialty goods this code describes.
