UNSPSC 50466612: Canned or jarred hubbard squash

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

UNSPSC 50466612 Canned or jarred hubbard squash, a Commodity code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code appears predominantly in school district food service solicitations where canned and jarred vegetables are procured as part of broader meal program supply contracts. State and local governments buying under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), state institutional purchasers (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Oregon Department of Corrections), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. The actual solicitations show that canned hubbard squash appears as one line item within comprehensive food supply RFPs that encompass hundreds of items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumables—indicating it is procured reactively as part of menu planning rather than as a standalone category.

Representative recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing body types. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million, covering food service for on-campus programs and state facilities. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across multiple categories to four schools, requiring Buy American compliance and HACCP plans. The Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) sought grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens across Virginia, with evaluation based on total cost per serving multiplied by one-year forecast servings. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued two separate grocery solicitations on March 31, 2026 (both due April 29, 2026)—one for Net Off Invoice products and one for grocery items—encompassing over 900 line items for the 2026-2027 school year. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurements), Texas (state health and human services facilities), Missouri (school nutrition programs), Virginia (county school systems), and Oregon (corrections facilities), with isolated activity in Illinois. No recent opportunities name hubbard squash specifically; the code is inferred from broader food procurement scopes that implicitly include canned vegetables as menu components.
