UNSPSC 50476220: Canned or jarred organic spaghetti squash

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

UNSPSC 50476220 Canned or jarred organic spaghetti squash is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts. Recent opportunities show this code tagged to school nutrition programs, state institutional foodservice (correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers), and veterans' homes that source diverse canned and jarred produce items alongside proteins, dairy, and dry goods. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and regional cooperatives serving multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts). The work solicited is weekly or quarterly food supply fulfillment under IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types, with vendors pricing individual line items or case quantities, maintaining firm pricing through annual contract periods, and delivering to central distribution points and school sites on weekly schedules. Buy American provisions appear in most solicitations, and whole grain and low-sodium specifications are routine requirements.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts dominate the recent record) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon corrections procurements), with secondary activity in Texas (HHSC statewide), Illinois (veterans' home), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Missouri (Rockwood district). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 (historical value $1.5 million annually, covering NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 with firm fixed unit pricing and CPI-indexed adjustment options); Burke County Public Schools RFP PE55037NONST2027000000007 for comprehensive school nutrition food procurement across five schools with nearly 400 line items, sealed bids due June 5, 2026, and anticipated award June 16, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million, proposals due February 18, 2026. Most school contracts run July-to-June fiscal years with renewal options spanning three to five additional years, pricing adjustments limited to documented CPI or third-party market indices, and evaluation favoring lowest responsive bidders on a line-item basis to enable multiple-vendor awards.
