UNSPSC 50476620: Canned or jarred organic whangaparoa crown pumpkin

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

UNSPSC 50476620 Canned or jarred organic whangaparoa crown pumpkin is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers shelf-stable canned and jarred produce items supplied to institutional food service operations—state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services departments. The code's nominal product specification (organic whangaparoa crown pumpkin) does not align with the work actually being solicited; recent opportunities name canned tomatoes, potatoes, and generic shelf-stable produce and consumables as the primary items being bought, alongside associated food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and trays. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas, Illinois), state departments of corrections (Oregon), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and municipal or regional agencies managing state institutions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple IFBs for consumables across state-supported living centers and hospitals.

Recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 show activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables (due October 23, 2026); and IFB HHS0017872 for Lufkin fiscal year 2027 consumables (due August 25, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division solicited bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes under IFB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026), with the previous purchase at $13.75 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for senior services. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each issued school nutrition food bids encompassing hundreds of line items with delivery to multiple school locations. The code shows limited direct activity tied to its stated commodity specification and broad institutional food service procurement activity under a nominal taxonomy mismatch.
