UNSPSC 50476210: Canned or jarred organic gold squash

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

UNSPSC 50476210 Canned or jarred organic gold squash, a Commodity code, covers specialty canned and jarred produce that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that this code captures a narrow slice of broader food procurement activity — school districts and state institutional facilities are buying complete grocery assortments that include this item alongside dozens of other vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods, rather than sourcing canned squash as a standalone line item. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies managing food service operations: school nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia dominate the recent opportunities, alongside institutional buyers such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers and the Oregon Department of Corrections. School districts (particularly in Georgia and Missouri) appear as repeat participants, with multiple solicitations posted in the past six months.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest — Texas, Georgia, and Oregon show the most recent sustained procurement activity, with secondary presence in Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under NIGP classifications covering canned goods alongside fresh, frozen, and dry items; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato ITB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases with FOB Destination delivery to Salem; and Ben Hill County Schools' food IFB in Georgia (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) requesting sealed bids across multiple product categories with Buy American compliance and delivery to four school locations. None of the recent opportunities specifically isolated canned or jarred organic squash as a line item — the commodity code appears to function as a classifier within much larger multi-category food service contracts rather than as a discrete procurement vehicle, suggesting limited standalone demand at this tier.
