UNSPSC 50476225: Canned or jarred organic waltham butternut squash

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

UNSPSC 50476225 Canned or jarred organic waltham butternut squash (Commodity) covers shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, particularly state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs. The code appears in state and local solicitations as part of broader food and consumables procurements rather than as standalone line items; recent opportunities show it bundled within comprehensive food service bids that span dozens or hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and related supplies for campus dining, inmate feeding, school cafeterias, and senior services centers. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state supported living centers—primarily large institutional buyers with high-volume, recurring food service needs and centralized procurement functions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary representation from Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food and consumables solicitations since May 2026, including IFB HHS0016792v2 (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and state supported living centers, posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), each encompassing 20 to 210 line items with contract values ranging up to $4.5 million over three years. Georgia school districts have issued multiple food bids, including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid, posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026), each covering nearly 400 line items for annual school nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomatoes procurement in June 2026, and the State of Illinois solicited quarterly food orders in June 2026. Deliveries typically must occur within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt, with F.O.B. Destination pricing prepaid and included in bid totals or stated separately; vendors routinely face HACCP compliance, Buy American Act requirements where applicable, debarment certifications, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
