UNSPSC 50416202: Organic butternut squash

The variety of organic summer squashes and organic summer pumpkins known as organic butternut squash

UNSPSC 50416202 Organic butternut squash (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single produce item—organic butternut squash—yet every recent opportunity tagged to this code instead seeks broad fresh produce supply contracts spanning dozens of items (apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, and many others) for school nutrition programs, state operations, and institutional food service. No solicitation in the available dataset specifically procures organic butternut squash or organic produce as a defined category.

State and local school districts and school systems dominate the issuing bodies, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia); state procurement offices in Georgia have also posted produce solicitations. The recent geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Recent representative opportunities include Northside ISD's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 campuses (due May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County's RFP 26039RFQDST for specialty produce to the federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). The code's low relevance to actual procurement activity suggests this commodity code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or represents an outlier classification that does not reflect the typical use of this taxonomy tier for organic single-item sourcing.
