UNSPSC 50466213: Canned or jarred marrow squash

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

UNSPSC 50466213 Canned or jarred marrow squash, a Commodity code, represents a single packaged food product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations. State and local purchasing under this code occurs within larger school nutrition, institutional food service, and state agency meal programs that buy dozens or hundreds of food items in aggregate. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts and state institutional facilities—school nutrition programs, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and state veterans' homes. Canned marrow squash appears alongside dozens of other canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, and supplies in line-item-based food service solicitations. These jurisdictions treat commodity vegetables as component purchases within comprehensive annual grocery and food supply contracts rather than standalone line items, and they typically allow brand-specific or approved-equivalent submissions on firm, fixed-price bases.

Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, and Texas actively procuring food products that include canned vegetables. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (posted Jun 11, 2026, due Jul 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior year. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (posted Mar 23, 2026, due Apr 6, 2026) and earlier ITB S2910000015837 (posted Jan 26, 2026, due Feb 9, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomato products at historical pricing of $14.30 per case. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #26271 for a comprehensive food bid (posted May 19, 2026, due Jun 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and canned goods for four schools. Canned or jarred marrow squash competes for line-item awards on cost and specification compliance within these broader institutional food service contracts, where pricing typically includes transportation and all handling costs on FOB Destination terms and remains firm for initial periods with potential adjustments tied to market indices such as the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index.
