UNSPSC 50476209: Canned or jarred organic early prolific straight neck squash

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

UNSPSC 50476209 Canned or jarred organic early prolific straight neck squash, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable canned or jarred vegetable products that state and local governments purchase primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and county human services operations. The code sees active solicitation across multiple issuing-body types: state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County), and county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). Recent opportunities show purchases of canned vegetables — including canned tomatoes, canned or jarred squash, and broader shelf-stable produce categories — as line items within larger institutional food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity procurements for squash specifically.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental food products serving state supported living centers statewide, with response dates in June through October 2026; the largest—HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026—covered 210 line items of food and consumable products with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB on June 5, 2026 (due June 19) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences, previous unit pricing at $13.75 per case from the February 2026 purchase. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia solicited a comprehensive grocery procurement on May 19, 2026 (due June 15) covering nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories including canned vegetables; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia posted a similar school nutrition food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 5 with opening June 8). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for senior services. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically and solely for organic early prolific straight neck squash; canned squash or comparable canned vegetables appear as line items within broader institutional food service contracts.
