UNSPSC 50476213: Canned or jarred organic marrow squash

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

UNSPSC 50476213 Canned or jarred organic marrow squash is a Commodity code tracking a narrow product category within state and local food procurement, but the recent opportunities do not reflect purchasing activity specifically for this item. Instead, the solicitations tagged under this code represent broad food service procurement by school districts, state correctional facilities, and state health agencies—purchases spanning canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples by the case or truckload. The geographic spread of activity centers on Georgia (school districts in multiple counties), Texas (HHSC state facilities), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (school districts), Illinois (veterans home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service driving the majority of recent volume. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District) and state agencies operating facilities (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), with school nutrition programs representing the largest share of activity.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and an initial term through August 31, 2027; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation (S2910000016089, due February 9, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $14.30 historical per-case pricing; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with a minimum 76-line-item response requirement. School district procurements consistently specify Buy American requirements, whole grain and low-sodium options, HACCP compliance, and firm-fixed pricing for 12-month initial terms with optional renewals. Competitive awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item or single-vendor basis, with evaluation emphasizing price, specification compliance, and vendor performance history. The code shows consistent activity but little evidence of organic-specific purchasing; vendors should verify whether organic marrow squash procurement occurs under this UNSPSC designation or whether the category mismatch signals a data-tagging issue in the source system.
