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

UNSPSC 50486217 Pattypan squash purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers state and local procurement of shelf-stable vegetable products and prepared foods for institutional food service — though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for pattypan squash purees specifically. Instead, state and local buyers under this code tier are sourcing canned tomatoes, mixed canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and broad consumable food items for state facilities, school districts, and county nutrition programs. The issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state comptroller procurement offices acting on behalf of correctional and supported-living systems. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears multiple times as a repeat buyer, issuing IFBs for food and consumables at state supported living centers; school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Oregon Department of Corrections are also active.
