UNSPSC 50476613: Canned or jarred organic jarrahdale squash

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

UNSPSC 50476613 Canned or jarred organic jarrahdale squash is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product primarily as part of broader food-service supply contracts for institutions such as state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services centers. Recent opportunities show that the code, narrowly defined, captures only a small subset of actual institutional food purchasing—most state and local solicitations tag canned vegetables, preserved produce, and shelf-stable food items generically under broader commodity families rather than specifying individual vegetable varieties. When canned or preserved vegetables do appear in recent RFBs and IFBs, they are typically bundled with dozens of other food items (fresh and frozen proteins, grains, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies) rather than solicited as standalone line items. Purchasing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county nutrition programs, school districts, and state correctional departments.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods to supply state-supported living centers at El Paso and Lufkin (HHS0017449, HHS0017872, HHS0018082, with response dates ranging from June to October 2026), each covering 20–35 food and supply line items with annual volumes measured in dozens to hundreds of cases per item. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned vegetables to the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026). Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools, both in Georgia, solicited comprehensive school-nutrition food bids encompassing canned fruits and vegetables among nearly 400 line items (due dates May 26 and June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a separate bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), indicating that state agencies sometimes break out specific canned-vegetable categories when volume justifies it. The code shows no standalone opportunities for jarrahdale squash specifically; market engagement appears limited to participation in general food-service supply contracts where preserved produce is one of many categories.
