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 is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce items — specifically organic miniature squash varieties — procured by state and local food service operations including school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. State and local governments buy organic produce under this code primarily to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, county parks concession operations, healthcare facility food services, and institutional dining. The issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), specialized healthcare purchasing coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). Recent opportunities reflect demand for fresh fruits and vegetables meeting food-safety compliance, seasonal availability accommodations, and domestic sourcing preferences where specified.

Activity is distributed across at least three states — Georgia, Florida (Collier County), and Marion County (jurisdiction not specified in source) — with school districts representing the largest recent volume of solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for three schools under the National School Lunch Program; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce vendor proposals (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during the 2026-2027 contract period; the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (IFB, due June 22, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN, due March 6, 2025) requiring diverse food and beverage options including produce across multiple park venues. School district procurement emphasizes whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives, and domestic sourcing, with contracts typically running one fiscal year with renewal options.
