UNSPSC 50466208: Canned or jarred early golden summer crookneck squash

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

UNSPSC 50466208 Canned or jarred early golden summer crookneck squash is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show this code is solicited rarely and often alongside broader canned-vegetable and fresh-produce categories rather than as a standalone product line. When the code does appear in procurement activity, state and local buyers are primarily state departments operating institutional facilities—Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for state supported living centers and state hospitals, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, and Georgia state entities—alongside county and municipal school districts managing nutrition programs across multiple school facilities. The scope of work spans routine food service supply for inpatient care, correctional facilities, and K–12 cafeteria operations, where canned vegetables function as a commodity input among dozens of competing line items in larger food-service contracts that also include proteins, dairy, frozen goods, dry goods, and food-service supplies.

Recent procurement activity clustered in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, and the State of Georgia), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which listed 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for senior services (response due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, with responses due June 19, 2026. The code shows episodic activity driven by fiscal-year budget cycles and facility replenishment schedules; opportunities are typically IFB or informal written quote (IWQ) notices with response windows of one to two weeks and firm, fixed unit-price evaluation on FOB Destination terms.
