UNSPSC 50486215: Miniature squash purees

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

UNSPSC 50486215 Miniature squash purees, a Commodity code, covers specialty food products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show minimal activity directly targeting this specific item; instead, recent state and local opportunities span broader food procurement categories that nominally include miniature squash purees but emphasize fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods as primary line items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—alongside state institutional food service operations such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and state-supported living centers. These jurisdictions collectively solicit food supply through IFB, ITB, and RFP notices covering multi-hundred-line-item procurements that bundle specialty items with staple foods.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering multiple NIGP classifications including specialty foods under firm fixed-unit pricing; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026), encompassing multiple categories with Buy American Act compliance; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026), representing a $5.5 million estimated annual spend across 30 districts. These procurements typically require firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA standards and nutritional specifications, proof of liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and delivery within 7 to 30 days. The code shows low standalone activity; miniature squash purees appear incidental to broader institutional and school food service buys rather than as a specified line item in recent solicitations, suggesting niche application within larger vegetable or prepared-foods categories.
