UNSPSC 50466205: Canned or jarred cucuzza squash

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

UNSPSC 50466205 Canned or jarred cucuzza squash is a Commodity code that captures narrow product-line procurement—specifically shelf-stable canned or jarred squash products supplied to state and local institutions for food service operations. Recent opportunities under this code show minimal specific solicitation activity; the most recent postings target broader food categories (canned tomatoes, general grocery procurement, fresh produce) rather than cucuzza squash as a line item. State and local governments procuring under related canned-vegetable codes are primarily school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and regional institutional food services, sourcing these products as components of large multi-item food supply contracts rather than standalone procurements.

School nutrition programs represent the largest issuing-body segment, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ cafeteria procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home quarterly food orders), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). State corrections departments and health-and-human-services agencies procure canned vegetables regularly as staple items within broader food-supply IFBs and RFPs. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with an estimated contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato procurement (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases with delivery to Salem, demonstrating typical institutional scale. Canned or jarred cucuzza squash, when solicited, typically appears as one line item among hundreds in master-grocery or food-supply contracts with firm fixed-unit pricing, 12-month minimum shelf-life requirements, USDA compliance standards, and FOB-destination delivery to multiple school or institutional locations. Activity is steady but dispersed across numerous small-to-medium procurements; no single dominant contract or repeat solicitation pattern for cucuzza squash specifically is evident in the recent record.
