UNSPSC 50486211 Jack be little squash purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code designation. The recent opportunities posted under 50486211 span broad food service supply, including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery line items for school nutrition programs, and supplemental food and consumable products for state institutions—none of which involve jack be little squash purees specifically. The code is being used to tag generic food procurement solicitations across diverse product categories rather than a narrow commodity line. State and local issuing bodies using this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department of State Health Services), and independent districts (Rockwood R-VI School District). The geographic footprint spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant use case.

Recent opportunities show heavy school nutrition procurement activity alongside state institutional food service. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million and a response deadline of July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 for a comprehensive food bid spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies across four school locations with bids due June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools issuing sealed bids for school nutrition food across five schools with an RFP response deadline of May 26, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 to 45 schools plus distribution centers with bids due April 27, 2026. These solicitations consistently emphasize firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance, Buy American requirements where applicable, comprehensive general liability insurance, and multi-item procurement spanning hundreds of line items. The code shows active, steady procurement velocity driven by ongoing school meal service contracting and state institutional food supply requirements.
