UNSPSC 50486205: Cucuzza squash purees

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as cucuzza squash which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486205 Cucuzza squash purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement—only one of the fourteen opportunities in the source block directly addresses this specific product line, and that opportunity was mislabeled or unrelated to the code's nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and institutional food-service operations procuring vegetables and prepared food ingredients for child nutrition programs and facility dining. The issuing bodies are chiefly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and regional buying cooperatives serving multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the issuing bodies, reflecting the primary use case for canned and prepared vegetable products in institutional settings.

The code shows activity across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Georgia appearing most frequently in recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois issuing RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821 for FY-27 quarterly food orders (due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). School district food procurements are substantially larger, with Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supplies (due April 27, 2026) and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual value of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). The code itself attracts minimal vendor attention; curzozza squash purees as a discrete line item appear embedded within much broader institutional food solicitations rather than as standalone procurement categories, suggesting the commodity is a minor component of larger grocery or prepared-food contracts awarded on a line-item basis to multiple vendors.
