UNSPSC 50416211: Organic jack be little squash

The variety of organic summer squashes and organic summer pumpkins known as organic jack be little squash

UNSPSC 50416211 Organic jack be little squash, a Commodity code, covers fresh organic squash varieties supplied to state and local food-service operations, school districts, healthcare facilities, and parks-and-recreation concession vendors. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring organic squash as part of broader produce, food-service, and meal-program contracts rather than as a standalone item line. The issuing bodies include county parks departments, school districts (through national meal programs), state procurement offices, and healthcare-affiliated organizations. Vendors compete on product quality, freshness guarantees, delivery compliance, food-safety certification, pricing responsiveness to seasonal availability, and alignment with domestic-sourcing and nutritional-preference mandates common in school lunch and healthcare nutrition contracting.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and other states with active school-district and county-level procurement. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 with a June 8, 2026 bid deadline for approximately 300+ food items including fresh fruits and vegetables for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 with a March 6, 2025 due date for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park, requiring diverse fresh produce options across multiple venues; the contract offers a 10-point local-vendor preference.
