UNSPSC 50476607: Canned or jarred organic cheese pumpkin

The variety of organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as organic cheese pumpkin that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476607 Canned or jarred organic cheese pumpkin is a Commodity code under which state and local procurement offices solicit specialty canned vegetable products, particularly organic varieties, for institutional food service operations. The recent solicitation activity shows this code sees limited direct demand; state and local governments procure canned and jarred produce primarily through broader food service contracts that bundle multiple commodity categories rather than through single-product solicitations. When the code does appear in live opportunities, it reflects institutional buying patterns in K–12 school nutrition programs, state agency food service (correctional facilities, veterans homes, state health agencies), and special-needs residential facilities. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts of varying size (from Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia serving approximately 19,000 students to Fairfax County Public Schools serving a large regional population), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county school systems (Douglas County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia). These entities procure food under annual or multi-year contracts, typically via IFB or RFP, with response deadlines spanning April through July 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with significant recent procurement volume in Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (state health agencies), and Oregon (corrections department), along with Illinois (veterans homes) and Missouri (school districts). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), covering approximately $1.5 million in estimated annual spend with firm unit pricing and CPI-indexed adjustments permitted; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food procurement across four school locations (response due June 15, 2026) under Buy American Act constraints; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (response due April 27, 2026) requiring bidders to price approximately 76 minimum line items with total cost calculated against one-year forecast servings. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name canned or jarred organic cheese pumpkin as a line item, indicating the code may see use in cooperative purchasing catalogs or multi-vendor framework agreements rather than in direct, standalone procurement action. Vendors pursuing this space should monitor broader institutional food service RFPs and school nutrition contracts, where specialty canned produce typically appears as one category among hundreds of line items.
