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

UNSPSC 50476211 Canned or jarred organic jack be little squash is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. The actual buying under this code spans a narrower scope than the code name alone suggests: state and local solicitations recent as of October 2026 show procurement of canned vegetables (tomatoes, mixed vegetables, beans) and other shelf-stable food staples alongside fresh, frozen, and prepared items as part of broader food-service RFPs and IFBs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county school districts, and county social-services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple fiscal-year 2027 solicitations for consumables and food products across state supported living centers; Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also post regularly under related food procurement codes.

Activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (including canned items, prepared foods, and service supplies) for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better) delivered to Salem, Oregon, bids due June 19, 2026 with a prior award at $13.75 per case; and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products across four schools for the 2026–2027 school year, bids due June 15, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts also issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five Texas regions supplying TDCJ warehouse locations with approximately 382 line items, response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. These solicitations typically require firm, fixed pricing on FOB Destination terms with delivery within seven days of order or monthly cycles; vendors commonly must provide three references, maintain general liability insurance at $500,000 minimum per occurrence, comply with Buy American and HACCP requirements where applicable, and meet E-Verify and debarment-certification standards.
