UNSPSC 50416210: Organic gold squash

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

UNSPSC 50416210 Organic gold squash is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce procurement by state and local entities, though recent opportunities show broader food-service and produce-supply activity than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments under this code buy fresh vegetables and fruits for institutional food service — school lunch programs, county parks and recreation concessions, healthcare facilities, and state agency food operations. Work solicited includes produce delivery contracts specifying quality standards, freshness guarantees, temperature control, and compliance with food-safety regulations and USDA requirements. Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, state agencies, and healthcare coalitions. Early County Board of Education and the State of Georgia have posted recent opportunities; Collier County Board of County Commissioners and Marion Health Care Coalition have also solicited under or alongside this code's scope.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Florida (Collier County), and Marion County (location not specified in source but Marion Health Care Coalition operates in Marion County, Florida). Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB for line-by-line food bids covering 300+ items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains) and non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' March 6, 2025 ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park and water park concessions, with evaluation favoring local vendors holding Collier or Lee County business addresses; and Marion Health Care Coalition's August 21, 2026 RFQ for produce vendors supplying fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen supplies bid on June 22, 2026, with full scope details in the attachment.
