UNSPSC 50466613: Canned or jarred jarrahdale squash

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

UNSPSC 50466613 Canned or jarred jarrahdale squash, a Commodity code, sees procurement activity primarily through school nutrition programs and state institutions purchasing canned vegetables as part of broader food service supply contracts. The code captures canned and jarred vegetable products that state and local governments buy as line items within multi-category food procurement solicitations, though recent opportunities show jarrahdale squash specifically receiving minimal direct solicitation—it appears as one line item among hundreds in composite food bids rather than as a standalone product category.

School districts, state health and human services agencies, and state correctional departments drive the bulk of recent activity under this code's parent families. The Illinois Veterans Home (IVHQ) in Quincy, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, and Douglas County Schools) have all posted solicitations in the past four months that bundle canned vegetables—including canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and other processed produce—into larger food service contracts. Recent opportunities span Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), with Georgia and Texas showing the densest posting activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026 at 2:30 p.m.). Contract values reported in related food procurements range from approximately $52,000 to $9 million annually depending on scope and institution size, with most school district food contracts running July 1 through June 30 and state institutional contracts running August 31 through August 31 fiscal years. All recent solicitations require compliance with USDA Grade standards, FDA food safety regulations, sodium limits, minimum shelf life (typically 12 months), and Buy American or domestic processing preferences where applicable.
