UNSPSC 50486228: Zephyr squash purees

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

UNSPSC 50486228 Zephyr squash purees, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific prepared squash product—diverges sharply from the actual work being solicited under food-procurement codes at the state and local level. Recent opportunities tagged with food-related UNSPSC classifications show state agencies, counties, school districts, and correctional facilities procuring broad baskets of shelf-stable and fresh foods (canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, frozen items, condiments, and food service supplies), not single-item produce purees. The only opportunities in the source that reference vegetable products by specific variety are a potato procurement from Oregon (July 2026) and a canned-tomato procurement from the Oregon Department of Corrections (June 2026, 7,616 cases), neither of which appears coded to squash or puree products.

State and local buyers of food products—primarily health and human services agencies, correctional departments, school nutrition programs, and senior services divisions—solicit through IFB, RFQ, and informal written quote processes in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative active procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals statewide (March 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), Ben Hill County Schools' food bid for four school locations (June 2026), Burke County Public Schools' nutrition program procurement spanning five schools (May 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato purchase of approximately 7,616 cases (June 2026, prior year cost $13.75 per case). Squash purees do not appear as a line item in any of these solicitations. No recent activity supports pursuing this code.
