UNSPSC 50496514 Organic kabocha squash purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure food products under this code overwhelmingly through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for kabocha squash purees themselves. Instead, recent activity under food-procurement codes reflects broad categorical purchasing of produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for school districts, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies. The sourcing bodies are predominantly school districts (including Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and state-supported living centers. These jurisdictions and agencies bid food service contracts in the $1.5 million to $9 million annual range, with contract periods typically running one fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) and renewal options extending two to four additional years.

Geographic concentration in recent activity spans Texas (multiple HHSC facilities, TDCJ, and Rockwood School District in Missouri serving St. Louis County), Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, and Ben Hill County school systems), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across four schools (due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ facilities across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, with approximately 382 line items). These procurements typically require firm fixed pricing, Buy American certification, HACCP compliance, liability insurance of $500,000 to $2 million, and delivery within seven to thirty days of order receipt; organic-specific product lines appear underrepresented in recent state and local activity relative to conventional produce and prepared foods.
