UNSPSC 50486223: Sweet dumpling squash purees

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

UNSPSC 50486223 Sweet dumpling squash purees, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of food products and related supplies for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for squash purees or other prepared vegetable products under this code. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader food procurement activity: school districts, state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, and veterans' homes are purchasing fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and consumable supplies through IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs. The issuing-body mix is dominated by school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), state departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). Most school districts are procuring broad grocery and fresh produce portfolios on annual cycles (July 1 through June 30), while state health and human services agencies are procuring supplemental foods for hospitals and state-supported living centers with contract values reaching up to $4.5 million over three years.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 procurement (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring supply and weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across the county; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products solicitation (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) seeking approximately 382 line items of proteins, grains, dairy, and staple foods for delivery to multiple warehouse locations. School districts typically require firm pricing for the initial contract period with midterm adjustments permitted only for documented manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater, mandate Buy American compliance, and award on lowest responsive bid or best value. No recent opportunities specifically reference sweet dumpling squash purees as a line item; the code's match to actual procurement appears incidental rather than substantive.
