UNSPSC 50466204: Canned or jarred crookneck squash

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

UNSPSC 50466204 Canned or jarred crookneck squash is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure individual canned vegetable products, typically as line items within broader food service and school nutrition supply contracts. The code sees procurement activity concentrated among school districts, state agencies operating food service facilities, and state-supported living centers purchasing against large consolidated grocery and produce bids. Issuing bodies include school nutrition programs across multiple states, state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions operating institutional food service, and state veterans homes. The mix leans heavily toward K-12 school districts and state institutional food service operations rather than municipal or county general procurement.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code derive primarily from Georgia (Muscogee County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Burke County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County Schools), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, HHSC statewide supplemental foods), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home Quincy), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 response deadline covering NIGP food categories under an anticipated contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items IFB for the 2026-27 school year (April 29, 2026 electronic submission) encompassing over 900 line items with firm pricing for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Liberty County Board of Education's annual IFB for food products (April 29, 2026 bid opening) covering over 400 items delivered weekly to 13 school sites with Buy American and whole grain requirements. Canned vegetables, including this commodity's nominal scope, appear consistently across these solicitations as part of broader USDA-compliant institutional meal service portfolios rather than as standalone line-item procurements. Activity is steady through mid-2026 with typical school-year contract cycles (July through June) and spring bid windows.
