UNSPSC 50466611: Canned or jarred giant pumpkin squash

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

UNSPSC 50466611 Canned or jarred giant pumpkin squash is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement appears primarily as one line item within broad food supply solicitations for institutional feeding operations rather than a standalone category. The recent opportunities show that state and local governments buy this code's scope—canned and jarred vegetables including pumpkin squash—as part of comprehensive food service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and veterans homes. Issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), state corrections and custody agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). The code appears in the long tail of multi-hundred-line-item food and consumables solicitations rather than as a primary procurement driver; canned vegetables including pumpkin squash are typically one among many canned goods, fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods specified by institutional food service programs.

The geographic concentration of recent activity appears heaviest in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), with secondary activity in Texas (HHSC and TDCJ procurement across multiple state facilities), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY 26-27 School Nutrition Food Bid (IFB, due June 15, 2026) for fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and canned goods across multiple schools; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 procurement (IFB, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) supplying approximately 382 line items to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations. The code shows steady activity as part of routine annual food service renewals across school districts and state agencies, with most opportunities posted in the March-June 2026 window for contract commencement July 1, 2026.
