UNSPSC 50486225: Waltham butternut squash purees

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

UNSPSC 50486225 Waltham butternut squash purees is a Commodity code that encompasses pureed vegetable products supplied to institutional food service operations, though the recent state and local opportunities block contains no solicitations matching this specific product. The source records 17 recent state and local food-service procurements (posted between January and June 2026), but none request butternut squash purees or branded Waltham-variety products; instead, the opportunities span general grocery procurement, fresh produce, canned tomato products, and comprehensive food supply contracts for schools, corrections facilities, and health and human services institutions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity suggests this Commodity code sees minimal procurement volume in state and local markets during the current period.

State and local food service procurement is concentrated among school districts, departments of corrections, and health and human services agencies across multiple states. School nutrition programs dominate the recent-opportunity block, with sealed bids and RFPs issued by Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) for grocery, produce, and food supply contracts typically covering fiscal years 2026–2027 with bid deadlines between late February and late June 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two opportunities for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, and HHS0016792V2 due March 19, 2026, with estimated historical value of $1.5 million). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case historically) and tomato paste (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026, approximately 1,904 cases at $27.75 per case historically). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) sought cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with approximately 382 line items. The State of Illinois issued two RFQs through the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy for quarterly weekly food orders (26497DVAQUINCB51106 due February 24, 2026, and 27497DVAQUINCB52821 due June 26, 2026). The State of Georgia posted an open food supply and kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and a fresh produce IFB (PE55037NONST2027000000007, due May 27, 2026). Georgia and Missouri school districts represent the highest concentration of recent activity, with Georgia alone posting at least six school nutrition food solicitations. None of the 17 opportunities reference Waltham butternut squash purees or similar specialty vegetable products, indicating that branded or variety-specific pureed vegetable items are not currently being solicited under this code in state and local procurement.
