UNSPSC 50476206: Canned or jarred organic delicata squash

The variety of organic summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as organic delicata squash that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476206 Canned or jarred organic delicata squash is a Commodity code. State and local food service programs—school districts, state-supported living centers, and corrections facilities—are the primary buyers under this code, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting organic delicata squash. Instead, the code's recent activity is dominated by broader food-service procurements that include canned vegetables as line items within larger category buys: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449), the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for canned tomatoes (S2910000016089), and multiple school district food bids naming canned goods as components of their nutrition programs. These opportunities span IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs, with response dates ranging from February through July 2026 and contract values reaching into the millions for multi-facility suppliers.

The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County and Muscogee County school systems in Georgia, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham County schools in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), state agencies managing institutional food service (Texas HHSC serving supported living centers and hospitals, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and cooperative purchasing groups (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia, Texas, and Oregon see the heaviest recent volume—with secondary activity in Virginia, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC food-and-consumables bid (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering 210 line items for state facilities with a prior-period value of $1.5 million) and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 procurement (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens across a large urban district). None of the posted opportunities name delicata squash explicitly; the code appears to sit within broader institutional food sourcing where canned and jarred vegetables compete on price, nutrition compliance, and supply reliability within larger mixed-category awards.
