UNSPSC 50466600: Canned or jarred winter squashes and winter pumpkins

The type of vegetable known as winter squashes and winter pumpkins that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466600 Canned or jarred winter squashes and winter pumpkins is a Class code that sees minimal specific activity in recent state and local procurement records; the opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit broader food supply categories rather than winter squash and pumpkin products in isolation. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and state correctional departments drive the majority of food procurement activity in the sourced records, but these solicitations target comprehensive grocery, produce, or prepared-food contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items across protein, dairy, grain, and vegetable categories rather than targeting preserved squash or pumpkin as a standalone commodity. The few recent opportunities that touch preserved vegetables—such as canned tomato procurements by the Oregon Department of Corrections and Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food orders—are tagged under different UNSPSC codes and emphasize tomato products rather than winter squash varieties.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri). Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomato products (closed April 6, 2026), and school district food bids across Georgia such as Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food procurement (due June 15, 2026) and Liberty County Board of Education's food products contract (due April 29, 2026). These solicitations treat preserved vegetables as components within multi-category food supply contracts rather than as standalone procurement lines. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether actual RFPs name winter squash or pumpkin explicitly or whether the UNSPSC classification reflects only incidental inclusion within broader produce or canned-goods categories.
