UNSPSC 50446618: Frozen valenciano squash

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

UNSPSC 50446618 Frozen valenciano squash (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity, though the code sits within the broader frozen vegetable category where substantial state and local buying occurs.

The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly naming frozen valenciano squash. Instead, state and local governments are actively procuring frozen vegetables across related commodity codes — frozen corn, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen assorted blends, and frozen carrots dominate recent bids. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs in February through July 2026 for frozen corn, frozen carrots, and frozen assorted vegetable blends (solicitations S2910000017451, S2910000017439, S2910000016589, S2910000016558, and S2910000016071). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are all actively sourcing frozen produce. Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables including frozen specialty foods, and multiple school nutrition programs (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District) all include frozen vegetables in comprehensive food service bids. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and school districts. Procurement is geographically dispersed across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Connecticut, with Oregon and Texas showing the highest recent activity volume. A representative opportunity is the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (Vegetables Frozen, Corn), posted July 10, 2026, due July 24, 2026, requesting approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet Golden or Yellow whole kernel style corn at FOB destination to Salem with Oregon offering a combined ten percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-resident bidders. UNSPSC 50446618 likely maps to these same sourcing events but shows no distinct procurement line items specific to valenciano squash varieties, suggesting either low demand for this specific cultivar or classification under a broader frozen vegetable commodity code that state and local offices are actively using.
