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, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are heavily concentrated in school nutrition programs and institutional food service — specifically elementary through high school cafeterias, state correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and Veterans Homes — but they soliciting mainstream grocery staples including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, condiments, and supplies rather than round squash purees or any squash puree products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under it suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that round squash purees represent a negligible or non-existent line item in the recent procurement environment.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia) and state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and Georgia Department of Health and Human Services. The geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer category. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026); the Oregon DOC ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026); and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 52 school delivery points in Virginia (sealed bids due April 27, 2026). If your firm supplies round squash purees or puree products, verify the UNSPSC classification with procurement offices before pursuing activity under this code; the recent opportunities reflect general food service supply rather than specialty vegetable purees.
