UNSPSC 50496102: Organic butternut squash purees

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

UNSPSC 50496102 Organic butternut squash purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no active postings for organic butternut squash purees specifically. Instead, the sourced state and local contracts target broader food procurement—weekly food orders for state facilities, quarterly produce and consumables for health agencies and correctional facilities, and annual school nutrition contracts—in which organic butternut squash purees may be purchased as one line item among hundreds of food products, if at all. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), and state agencies (Georgia state operations). Most recent activity clusters in school nutrition procurement, where food sourcing is competitively bid on an annual or multi-year cycle.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Illinois and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for supplemental food and consumables statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items including fresh, frozen, and specialty foods with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in one area and $1.1 million in another; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 bid (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across Virginia. No posting identifies organic butternut squash purees as a stand-alone procurement line, suggesting the commodity is purchased in small volume as a component of larger food service contracts rather than as a targeted commodity opportunity.
