UNSPSC 50466202: Canned or jarred butternut squash

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as butternut squash that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466202 Canned or jarred butternut squash (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food service procurement, specifically preserved squash products supplied to institutional nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities show this code capturing vegetable procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and other institutional food service operations, though butternut squash specifically appears as one line item among hundreds in broader food supply solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement category.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under food-service codes that encompass this commodity include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Burke County schools in Missouri and Georgia, Liberty County and Muscogee County schools in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County schools in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school boards (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with districts purchasing hundreds of food line items annually in the $1.5 million to $9 million range. Geographically, the most recent institutional food procurement activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois, with school districts in the Southeast and state facilities across multiple regions representing the primary purchasing base. Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitation HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), Ben Hill County Schools Food Bid PE61000NONST2027000000006 for comprehensive grocery procurement across four schools (IFB, due June 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items 2026-2027 (RFQ via NUTRIKIDS electronic system, due April 29, 2026), and Liberty County Board of Education IFB for food products covering 13 school delivery points (IFB, due April 29, 2026). Canned vegetables including butternut squash appear as commodity-level line items priced and bid alongside dozens of other preserved and fresh produce categories, typically evaluated on lowest responsive pricing and compliance with USDA or state nutrition standards.
