UNSPSC 50466218: Canned or jarred rondini squash

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

UNSPSC 50466218 Canned or jarred rondini squash, a Commodity code, covers preserved vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as part of broader food procurement—canned and jarred vegetables sit alongside proteins, dairy, fresh produce, and prepared foods in kitchen and cafeteria supply contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (including Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Burke County in Missouri, Liberty County and Muscogee County in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), followed by state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services commissions (Texas), state veterans homes (Illinois), and county school systems. These buyers treat canned vegetables as commodity line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school district bids) and Midwest (Missouri school districts), with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections) and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery procurement (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026, IFB format, ~900 line items across grocery categories including canned vegetables as part of 2026-27 school year supply); the Liberty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program food bid (posted March 30, 2026, due April 29, 2026, IFB format, 400+ food items with canned goods included for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 delivery to 13 schools); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables procurement HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, IFB format, with historical value of $1.5 million for prior period and canned goods across multiple facility types). School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, with contracts running July through June fiscal years, firm-fixed pricing for initial periods with midterm adjustments tied to published indices, and weekly or as-needed delivery to multiple school sites.
