UNSPSC 50476224: Canned or jarred organic triple treat squash

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

UNSPSC 50476224 Canned or jarred organic triple treat squash is a Commodity code that in practice designates shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables procured by state and local institutional food service programs — principally state-operated facilities, school districts, and county agencies feeding populations at scale. Recent state and local solicitations show this code applied to broader food supply contracts in which canned vegetables are one component among dozens or hundreds of line items rather than standalone organic squash purchases; the code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy marker within larger food procurement families rather than a distinct procurement stream. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services managing state-supported living centers, departments of corrections, school nutrition programs across multiple districts, and county social services agencies. The work involves competitive bid solicitation for food products meeting USDA grade standards, with delivery to institutional distribution centers or individual facility locations, firm fixed pricing, compliance with federal food safety and labeling requirements, and typically 30-day payment terms after invoice receipt.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable food products at state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso (IFB HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026), with scope encompassing canned vegetables and prepared foods alongside food service supplies; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes under S2910000017145 with a June 19, 2026 deadline. School districts in Georgia—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid due June 5, 2026)—have sought comprehensive grocery procurements spanning fresh and canned produce, proteins, and supplies for school nutrition programs. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables under IWQ 140229 with response due October 19, 2026. Pricing evaluation focuses on lowest responsive and responsible bid per unit or per line item; award timelines typically follow within 60 days of bid opening. No recent opportunities specify organic triple treat squash as a line item, suggesting limited direct demand under this specific Commodity code despite its presence in the broader food procurement ecosystem.
