UNSPSC 50436620: Dried organic whangaparoa crown pumpkin

The variety of organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as organic whangaparoa crown pumpkin that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436620 Dried organic whangaparoa crown pumpkin (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent procurement activity under this code. State and local governments are soliciting dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans — for institutional food service at correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and statewide meal services, but the code's nominal scope (dried organic whangaparoa crown pumpkin, a specialty vegetable variety) does not match the work actually being bought. The issuing bodies are state departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia), a city government (City of Edinburg, Texas), and what appears to be a nonprofit food-service operator (Boys & Girls Club in Texas), purchasing dried legumes in bulk quantities for inmate meals, child nutrition programs, and institutional meal preparation. The specifications emphasize USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning for contaminant removal, compliance with HACCP and FDA regulations, and delivery in large institutional quantities — typically hundreds or thousands of pounds palletized for bulk cooking.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB, June 19, 2026 close) with a 10% Oregon-preference applied (5% for in-state fabrication, 5% for Oregon headquarters), and the State of Oregon sought triple-cleaned dried black beans (S2910000017705, IFB, August 21, 2026 close) for institutional use. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in incremental 880-bag lots (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026), and the State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with details in an attached document. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for CACFP meal-program supplies including proteins, cheese, and food products (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference for vendors within 5% of lowest bid under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051). The code shows little activity aligned with its stated commodity; procurement under this UNSPSC classification does not reflect buying behavior in the market.
