UNSPSC 50406319: Round squash

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as round squash

UNSPSC 50406319 Round squash, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce items that state and local governments procure directly for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show school districts across the Southeast sourcing fresh vegetables and fruits — including round squash among broader produce line items — for child nutrition reimbursable compliance and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery. State prison systems and regional school cooperatives also buy bulk produce for institutional kitchens and canning operations, with the code capturing unit-level fresh produce procurement by issuing bodies ranging from large urban school districts to small rural county systems.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County (Florida), Northside Independent (Texas), Bulloch County (Georgia), and Douglas County (Georgia), alongside state procurement divisions in Georgia and Texas and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice buying for inmate food service. Activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with secondary volume in Florida, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snacks posted July 8, 2026, with bids due July 29, 2026, seeking 5,900 servings weekly of ready-to-eat produce sourced within 400 miles and pre-cleaned for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participants; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools, with proposals due March 11, 2026, under cost-plus fixed-fee structure requiring GAP certification and three years' prior produce distribution experience; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, serving 30 school districts across Georgia with approximately $5.5 million annual spend and proposals due March 4, 2026, requiring cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing tied to USDA terminal market reports.
