UNSPSC 50416215: Organic miniature squash

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

UNSPSC 50416215 Organic miniature squash (Commodity) sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers a narrow produce item, but state and local school districts, county systems, and independent school districts soliciting under this code are actually purchasing fresh produce broadly—including standard squash varieties alongside apples, bananas, carrots, peppers, leafy greens, berries, and eggs—as part of institutional food service and child nutrition programs. The distinction between "organic miniature squash" and the commodity-level buying actually occurring suggests the code either misfires or sits dormant; recent opportunities display no specific callouts for organic or miniature varieties, and vendors responding to these solicitations furnish conventional fresh produce assortments rather than specialty items.

State and local school nutrition procurement dominates the recent opportunity set, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs via ITB due June 8, 2026; the State of Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce with response due May 27, 2026; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) posted RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition, due May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM via the Bonfire Portal; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) sought specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program through an RFP due March 11, 2026; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) requested locally-grown produce for its Farm to School program through an IFP due May 4, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (St. Louis County, Missouri) solicited grocery items including produce via electronic bid submission due April 29, 2026; and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for produce due April 29, 2026. 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), and Douglas County School System (Georgia, multi-district cooperative) all issued produce solicitations between mid-February and late March 2026, with response windows closing April 14 through April 29. No opportunities demonstrate procurement tied specifically to the organic or miniature variant; the code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.
