UNSPSC 50496509: Organic curcibita squash purees

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

UNSPSC 50496509 Organic curcibita squash purees, a Commodity code, covers organic squash puree products that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service supply contracts. Recent state and local solicitations show this code applied primarily in institutional food purchasing — notably school nutrition programs, state facility food service, and correctional department supply chains — where purees and processed vegetables appear as line items within larger grocery, produce, or food product aggregations rather than as standalone specialty items. State education agencies, corrections departments, health and human services commissions, and school districts are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs emerging as repeat buyers across multiple states seeking complete food portfolios for child nutrition services.

Procurement activity is concentrated in the Southeast and South-Central United States. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and state hospitals, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) dominate recent solicitations, with additional activity in Illinois (Veterans Home food service), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually and pricing submission on Exhibit C with firm, fixed unit rates; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition food products across four school locations with Buy American Act compliance and quarterly price escalation permitted; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. No recent solicitations specifically name organic squash purees as a primary or standalone commodity; the code assignment appears incidental to broader food procurement categories where processed or specialty vegetables are line items within comprehensive food supply contracts.
