UNSPSC 50486219: Round squash purees

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

UNSPSC 50486219 Round squash purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. Recent solicitations tagged with this code do not in fact solicit round squash purees; instead, they request broad consumable-food and food-service-supply packages for institutional dining operations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, for example, issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for 22 line items including prepared foods and service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center canteen and campus, and earlier solicited supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, maximum value $4.5 million over three years) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026), and school districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued food-bid solicitations covering hundreds of line items for school nutrition programs across multiple facilities. The issuing bodies are state health and human services agencies, county governments, and school districts; no single buyer dominates the recent-opportunity set, though Texas HHSC appears multiple times as a significant repeat buyer.

Activity under this code spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with the densest recent activity in Texas and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical spend of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) with a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food and related items (bids due June 15, 2026, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) requiring Buy American compliance and including dozens of product categories with monthly or fixed pricing. The Tennessee Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response deadline extended to May 4, 2026) encompassed approximately 382 line items for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas. Most recent solicitations are IFBs or IWQs with response windows of seven to thirty days, F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight included, and delivery requirements within one to seven days of order receipt. The code shows significant recent activity but appears misaligned with its narrow product definition; most opportunities are multipurpose food-and-supplies packages rather than specialized squash purees.
