UNSPSC 50486608: Crown prince squash purees

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as crown prince squash which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486608 Crown prince squash purees is a Commodity code that in practice describes shelf-stable and fresh food products purchased by state and local agencies for institutional food service, including prepared foods, canned goods, frozen items, fresh produce, and consumable supplies for cafeteria and campus operations. Recent solicitations filed under this code show state and local governments buying broad categories of food and food-service supplies — packaged proteins, frozen vegetables, canned fruits and tomatoes, bread, dairy, condiments, cooking oils, and disposables such as containers, napkins, and serving trays — rather than squash purees specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of commissioners, county school districts, and state correctional agencies. A small number of issuers appear repeatedly: the Texas HHS Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals, and school districts across Georgia and Texas are active buyers. The code shows no concentration among a single issuing body type; school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, supported living centers, and senior services centers all compete for the same vendor base.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with the heaviest concentration in Texas and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service consumables and a requirement for F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across four schools under Buy American Act requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) exemplifies the specificity sometimes present in commodity-level procurements. Awards typically flow to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with F.O.B. Destination pricing, delivery timelines of five to thirty days, and compliance with federal food standards (USDA grades, FDA labeling, nutritional content specifications) as standard requirements.
