UNSPSC 50486229: Zucchini squash purees

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

UNSPSC 50486229 Zucchini squash purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure food products for institutional meal service, though recent activity shows no solicitations specifically tagged to zucchini squash purees. The code sits within the broader food procurement ecosystem where state and local agencies—school districts, correctional facilities, state health and human services departments, and veterans homes—source prepared and preserved food items for cafeteria operations, patient meals, and institutional food service. Issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of State), and county and municipal health facilities. School districts are the dominant repeat buyer in recent activity, with multiple concurrent procurements across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas for annual food supply contracts serving student meal programs. State correctional and health service agencies procure ingredient-level items including canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and fresh produce in substantial volumes for institutional kitchens.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with Georgia school districts particularly active. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million and contract spanning September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with one renewal option), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, response due June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus distribution centers (response due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs supporting 30 districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (response due March 4, 2026). Contracts typically run July-through-June school-year terms or calendar-year periods with firm pricing for initial terms and indexed price adjustments thereafter tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Consumer Price Index, or third-party market data; awards emphasize lowest responsive bid and best value determinations. No coded activities specifically reference zucchini squash purees in recent months, indicating either limited institutional demand for this specific prepared product or tagging inconsistencies in the procurement database.
