UNSPSC 50406323: Sweet dumpling squash

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as sweet dumpling squash

UNSPSC 50406323 Sweet dumpling squash is a Commodity code representing a single produce item that state and local governments acquire through institutional food service contracts, primarily for school nutrition programs, senior services, and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies sourcing sweet dumpling squash alongside broader fresh produce portfolios to meet meal requirements; the code appears embedded in larger fresh produce and grocery procurements rather than as a standalone line item.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with notable repeat solicitation activity from Georgia counties (Bulloch, Bryan, Dougherty, Glynn, Henry, Liberty, and Muscogee), Texas independent school districts (Austin, McAllen, Northside, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Hillsborough County in Florida), and state agencies including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia state procurement office. Regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative and Texas cooperative purchasing contracts extend reach across multiple jurisdictions. Recent representative solicitations include Bulloch County School District's RFP for local fresh produce (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026) specifying 24 produce items sourced within 200 miles with seasonal availability documentation; Bryan County Schools' sealed bid for fresh produce (posted April 27, 2026, due May 27, 2026) requesting line-item pricing on apples, carrots, squash, and other items in case quantities; and Glynn County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce to 16 school sites (posted March 16, 2026, due April 14, 2026) with 60 line items priced per unit. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Most contracts run July through June academic or fiscal years with one-year initial terms and up to four renewal options. Pricing is firm for the contract period or specified months, with prospective price redetermination tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data. Delivery is weekly or twice-weekly to school sites between 6:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., FOB destination with all transportation included, and vendors typically carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance plus workers' compensation coverage.
