UNSPSC 50496109: Organic early prolific straight neck squash purees

The variety of organic summer squashes and organic summer pumpkins known as organic early prolific straight neck squash which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50496109 Organic early prolific straight neck squash purees (Commodity) sees minimal direct activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific processed-produce item — does not match the actual work state and local governments are buying under related food-service purchasing. Recent solicitations posted under or near this commodity tag consumable foods for institutional cafeterias, state-supported living centers, schools, and correctional facilities, but they procure broad baskets of shelf-stable and fresh food products (proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, bread, frozen items) rather than specialty squash purees. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, county boards, school districts, state departments of corrections, and individual school nutrition programs across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. When a commodity code describes a narrowly defined product but state and local buyers group it into multi-line-item food-service or nutrition contracts, the code shows little standalone procurement signal.

The source provides no evidence of recent opportunities specifically for organic straight-neck squash purees. The nine recent opportunities named represent large institutional food procurements: Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); Texas HHS IFB HHS0017872 for consumables at Lufkin (due August 25, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); and school-district nutrition bids in Georgia and Texas covering hundreds of line items across produce, protein, dairy, and dry goods. None of these solicitations name specialty squash products. Activity is concentrated in Texas (state HHS and TDCJ) and Georgia (Gwinnett County and multiple school districts), with secondary activity in Oregon. Without evidence of standalone or bundled procurement for this specific commodity in the recent record, the code does not present a clear pursuit opportunity at this time.
