UNSPSC 50466607: Canned or jarred cheese pumpkin

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

UNSPSC 50466607 Canned or jarred cheese pumpkin is a Commodity code that covers specialty shelf-stable vegetable products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, typically as components of broader food supply contracts rather than standalone line items. School districts, state health agencies, and correctional facilities source canned and jarred vegetables—including pumpkin and similar items—as part of regular quarterly or annual food procurement cycles that bundle fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared foods to support cafeterias, nutrition programs, and medical facilities.

The recent opportunities show school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia (including Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, and Fairfax County Public Schools) issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive grocery and produce contracts with hundreds of line items where canned vegetables appear as minor components; state corrections departments in Oregon and Texas also regularly solicit canned tomatoes and other preserved vegetables as part of food service procurement; and state health and human services agencies in Texas (HHSC and DSHS) issue solicitations for supplemental food and consumable products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Oregon, with intermittent activity in Illinois and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering food and consumable products under NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, and 393 with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and a contract term running September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027 with one renewal option; the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016405 ITB for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026, with no substantive details available); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products and related items (due June 15, 2026), covering multiple food categories across four school locations with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Opportunities at this Commodity code level are sparse because canned pumpkin and similar specialty vegetables are priced and ordered as line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone solicitations, making pursuit dependent on vendor qualification for broader category awards.
