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

UNSPSC 50486613 Jarrahdale squash purees is a Commodity code that names a single product — a regionally specific squash puree — yet state and local solicitations under this code do not reflect demand for the named commodity. Instead, recent postings by state and local agencies show procurement activity centered on broad food service supply, with state departments of health and human services, county governments, and school districts requesting bids for dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies. The code appears to be applied to general institutional food procurement in which jarrahdale squash purees—if sourced at all—would be a minor item among many. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state-supported living centers and state hospitals, county school districts and nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners for senior services, Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These entities solicit on a rolling calendar with multiple active RFPs and IFBs at any given time, suggesting repeat procurement activity under this and related food commodity codes.

The geographic spread includes Texas (the highest-volume issuer, with multiple ongoing procurements from HHSC and TDCJ), Georgia (Gwinnett County and several school districts), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which covers 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive grocery procurement across four schools with nearly 400 line items emphasizing USDA standards and Child Nutrition meal pattern compliance (response due June 15, 2026). Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet delivery timelines ranging from 72 hours to 30 days, provide pricing on an FOB Destination basis, maintain three to five verifiable references, and comply with E-Verify, debarment, and compliance certifications. Pricing structures typically remain firm for 30 days post-award, with subsequent adjustments permitted based on USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation.
