UNSPSC 50476618: Canned or jarred organic valenciano squash

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

UNSPSC 50476618 Canned or jarred organic valenciano squash is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables purchased for institutional food service operations across state and local government entities. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) facilities—including state supported living centers and state hospitals—along with Georgia school districts, Georgia county governments, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Recent solicitations show that institutional food-service buyers are procuring canned vegetables as part of broader consumables packages rather than purchasing organic valenciano squash as a standalone line item; the code appears in the scope of multi-hundred-line-item food and consumable RFPs and IFBs, but specific organic squash requirements are not prominent in the posted opportunity summaries available.

The geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-year historical value of $1.5 million covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated foods; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria-food-products IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items across multiple warehouse locations; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with delivery to Salem; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB food bid (due June 15, 2026) covering fresh, frozen, and canned produce with delivery to four school locations in Georgia. Activity shows multiple annual solicitation cycles, with several Texas HHSC bids posted in the June–October window for fiscal-year 2027 operations.
