UNSPSC 50466601: Canned or jarred acorn squash

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

UNSPSC 50466601 Canned or jarred acorn squash is a Commodity code capturing specialized food products that state and local governments procure as line items within broader food service contracts. Recent solicitations show that acorn squash appears primarily as one of dozens or hundreds of produce and prepared-food line items in school district nutrition procurement, institutional food service for corrections and health-and-human-services facilities, and state agency food supply contracts, rather than as a standalone commodity.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative). School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state facility food service (corrections, supported living centers, state hospitals). Recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for FY 26-27 school nutrition food (due June 15, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 13, 2026, with questions due June 22, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery solicitations for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026). Georgia school districts and Oregon corrections constitute the geographic concentration in the recent-opportunities block, with secondary activity in Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. The code shows consistent activity but typically as a minor line item rather than a primary focus; vendors pursuing these contracts compete on comprehensive food-service capability across multiple product categories and delivery performance rather than on acorn squash specialization alone.
