UNSPSC 50496100: Organic summer squash and summer pumpkin purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic summer squashes and organic summer pumpkins which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496100 Organic summer squash and summer pumpkin purees is a Class code that covers puréed vegetable products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal direct alignment with the nominal scope. The recent state and local solicitations in the block span food procurement broadly—weekly food orders for state veterans' homes, quarterly food supplies for state-supported living centers, fresh produce and canned goods for school nutrition programs, and comprehensive grocery and food-service distribution contracts—but only incidentally reference summer squash or pumpkin purées as line items within larger food baskets. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Muscogee County School District), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and one county facility (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts dominate the activity, with multiple districts across Georgia and Missouri posting recurring annual food procurement bids.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with notable activity in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Douglas County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois issuing an RFQ for FY-27 IVHQ Quarterly Weekly Food Order (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case); Ben Hill County Schools issuing an IFB for comprehensive school food products across four schools (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 to supply 45 schools and distribution kitchens (2000004323, due April 27, 2026). The code shows substantial activity but little specificity to summer squash or pumpkin purées as standalone procurements; vendors should treat this code as part of broader food-service-supply portfolios rather than as a narrow commodity category.
