UNSPSC 50476222: Canned or jarred organic sugar loaf squash

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

UNSPSC 50476222 Canned or jarred organic sugar loaf squash (Commodity) does not see material recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific produce item—canned or jarred organic sugar loaf squash—but the ten recent state and local opportunities posted between May and October 2026 show no solicitation for that product. Recent solicitations across the code's nominal space focus instead on broad food procurement for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions, encompassing hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, canned fruits and vegetables, condiments, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia, Illinois), county and school district nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state correctional and supported living facilities (Texas TDCJ, Oregon DOC), and state agencies managing food service operations. None of these solicitations specifically request organic canned squash as a named line item.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas dominating the record through multiple HHSC and TDCJ procurements. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). The absence of organic canned squash in these substantial, multi-line-item procurements suggests the commodity is either not a state and local priority or is sourced through broader food-service contracts under different specifications. A vendor pursuing this code should verify whether recent issuances have carried the product as a subordinate line item within larger food buys.
