UNSPSC 50406329: Zucchini squash

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

UNSPSC 50406329 Zucchini squash is a Commodity code capturing fresh vegetable procurement by state and local food service operations, though recent state and local opportunities show the code itself tagged to a much broader produce-supply activity—fresh fruits and vegetables generally, rather than zucchini specifically. State and local buyers soliciting under this code family include state departments (Health and Human Services, Criminal Justice, Mental Health), county and municipal governments, school districts, and specialized procurement entities supporting institutional food service. The work being solicited ranges from fresh produce delivery to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs to pre-packaged ready-to-eat produce for elementary students and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks for senior centers. Bidders are typically required to meet USDA quality standards, deliver F.O.B. Destination with all transportation included, maintain commercial liability insurance in the $500,000 to $1 million range, comply with E-Verify and debarment certifications, and often provide traceability or farm-of-origin documentation. Delivery windows are strict—often 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with exclusions around midday breaks—and late deliveries can trigger emergency procurement and price-differential charges back to the vendor.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted multiple produce solicitations since late September 2026, including fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply for correctional food warehouses (Wynne, Snyder, and Palestine locations) and consumables for state-supported living centers in Lufkin and Mexia, all with response dates between mid-October and late August. Georgia school districts—Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County Schools, Early County Board of Education, and Bryan County Schools—have issued produce bids for 2026-2027 school nutrition programs with deadlines in May and June 2026. Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center) and Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center) solicited fresh-produce supply in August and September 2026. The Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued an RFB for fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks in July 2026 sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin state lines, with a 5 percent diversity preference available. Collier County (Florida) Parks and Recreation issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities with a 10-point local-vendor preference. Activity is recent and active across multiple states; no standout single repeat buyer dominates, but correctional and state health-services agencies and school nutrition programs represent the primary institutional customer base.
