UNSPSC 50476226: Canned or jarred organic yellow bush scallop squash

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

UNSPSC 50476226 Canned or jarred organic yellow bush scallop squash, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement — specifically shelf-stable, organically certified yellow squash in canned or jarred form for institutional food service and supply programs. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand for this specific commodity; instead, the code appears in broader food procurement efforts where it may be listed as one line item among dozens or hundreds in comprehensive food service contracts. The issuing bodies purchasing under this code span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia), and school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Texas)—primarily institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior service centers, school cafeterias, and state hospital systems. The work involves supplying ready-to-eat or minimal-preparation canned vegetables as part of standardized institutional meal planning, with emphasis on USDA compliance, shelf life, nutritional specifications (sodium limits, whole-grain preferences), and delivery within defined timeframes.

Recent solicitation activity shows geographic concentration in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with sporadic activity in Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, due July 13, 2026), both spanning multiple food and supply line items with annual volumes estimated in cases; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato procurement (7,616 cases, June 2026) shows the scale typical for institutional vegetable orders; and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive school nutrition food bid (Burke County Public Schools, June 2026) encompasses dozens of produce and prepared-food categories with quarterly pricing adjustments tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index indices. Pricing in these solicitations is typically submitted on a per-unit (per-case or per-pound) basis with FOB Destination terms, and contracts often span 12 months with optional renewal periods. No recent solicitations in the source explicitly name canned organic yellow bush squash as a line item, indicating this specific product sees minimal recent procurement activity at the state and local level.
