UNSPSC 50406311: Jack be little squash

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as jack be little squash

UNSPSC 50406311 Jack be little squash, a Commodity code, names a specific produce item that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, child care services, and institutional food operations—though recent activity under this exact code is minimal and does not align cleanly with the broader fresh-produce solicitation activity dominating the source data. State and local issuing bodies soliciting fresh produce and vegetables include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bartow County Schools, multiple Georgia county boards of education), child care and Head Start agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), senior services (City of San Antonio), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative, Douglas County School System). Recent opportunities under broader fresh-produce codes show school districts as the dominant issuing bodies, with state-level purchasing for correctional institutional food service and scattered activity from city and county human services departments.

The geographic concentration of recent activity centers on Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Glynn County Schools, Henry County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System) and Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Texas Department of Criminal Justice with statewide distribution, Head Start of Greater Dallas), with secondary activity in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), and Georgia statewide procurement. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks delivered September–November 2026 (response due July 29, 2026), emphasizing locally sourced produce within 400 miles and ready-to-eat processing; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 117 campuses five days weekly throughout the school year (response due May 7, 2026); and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles during 2026-2027 (response due June 22, 2026). Multiple Georgia school nutrition programs have posted sealed-bid solicitations for fresh produce and eggs during March–May 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued several IFBs for bulk vegetables including carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for institutional canning and food service operations across multiple facility locations.
