UNSPSC 50486611: Giant pumpkin squash purees

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as giant pumpkin squash which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486611 Giant pumpkin squash purees is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable and fresh food products state and local governments procure for institutional dining operations, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity directly matching pumpkin squash purees. The most recent opportunities posted over the past four months span broad consumable food procurement—institutional cafeteria operations, state hospital and supported living center food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facility dining—rather than specialty produce items. State agencies, county governments, and school districts issue these solicitations as IFBs and IWQs with response windows typically ranging from one to two weeks. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state correctional and education departments (Oregon, Georgia), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Texas school systems). Vendors must meet federal nutrition standards, Buy American Act compliance where applicable, HACCP and food safety certifications, liability insurance minimums (typically $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), and debarment/E-Verify documentation.

Recent high-volume opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers (Lufkin, El Paso) and state hospitals with line items in the hundreds and historical contract values ranging from $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms; the most recent Lufkin canteen procurement (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026) covers 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids with nearly 400 line items across fresh, frozen, and dry goods spanning the 2026-2027 school year. Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) and a separate potato variety solicitation with minimal posted detail. Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) for delivery to six distribution points statewide. No recent opportunities in the source specifically name or solicit giant pumpkin squash purees as a line item, suggesting this Commodity code does not currently see active state and local procurement volume.
