UNSPSC 50466227: Canned or jarred yellow straightneck squash

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

UNSPSC 50466227 Canned or jarred yellow straightneck squash, a Commodity code, sees limited direct recent activity in state and local procurement, though the code sits within the broader canned-vegetable category that state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities regularly buy as part of their larger food-service solicitations. State and local governments procure canned vegetables under this code primarily for institutional food service—cafeteria operations, state hospitals, corrections facilities, and supported living centers—where they appear as line items within larger multiproduct food and consumable bids rather than as standalone specialty procurements.

Recent opportunities in the adjacent canned-vegetable space show activity across school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), with geographic concentration in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Oregon) and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' February 2026 ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's February 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide including canned goods (HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026), both specifying USDA Grade B or better standards and sodium content limits. These procurements typically embed canned vegetables as one of dozens or hundreds of line items in comprehensive food-service contracts, with pricing submitted on per-case or per-unit bases and delivery to institutional distribution centers or directly to schools. The code shows no dedicated standalone bid specifically for yellow straightneck squash in the recent record; pursuit would depend on positioning canned squash within larger institutional food-service responses to school nutrition, corrections, or state hospital bids.
