UNSPSC 50466603: Canned or jarred banana pink squash

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

UNSPSC 50466603 Canned or jarred banana pink squash, a Commodity code, sees sporadic state and local procurement activity centered on institutional food service. State and local governments buy canned and processed vegetables under this code primarily to support school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and veteran care operations. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for banana pink squash specifically; instead, the code appears tagged to broader food service procurements that encompass multiple canned vegetable categories. The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement at this tier include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), and state-level agencies (Georgia state government, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with notable posting dates spanning February through June 2026. Representative procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste (due March 9, 2026) and ITB S2910000015837 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in various preparations (due February 9, 2026), both delivered to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and multiple school district food bids in Georgia including Liberty County's IFB for over 400 food items (due April 29, 2026), Muscogee County's ITB 26-017 for 60 produce line items (due April 27, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 with Buy American requirements (due June 15, 2026). These procurements typically use IFB or ITB notice types with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and contract periods running fiscal or calendar years. The code itself carries no inherent set-asides, though underlying jurisdictions apply state-level preferences—Oregon applies 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; Texas procurements reference HUB plans where applicable; and Georgia school districts enforce Buy American provisions under federal meal-program rules.
