UNSPSC 50416216: Organic orangetti squash

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

UNSPSC 50416216 Organic orangetti squash (Commodity) covers fresh organic squash varieties supplied to state and local institutions, but recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity specifically for this produce item. Instead, the code appears in broader food-procurement contexts where organic produce is one line item among many. State and local governments solicit fresh produce through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. The buying pattern spans institutional food service — school lunch programs, park concessions, and healthcare facility operations — where organic produce enters alongside conventional vegetables, fruits, and other food commodities in line-item or consolidated food bids. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county boards of commissioners, state purchasing divisions, and special-purpose healthcare coalitions.

Recent activity shows Georgia, Florida, and other states posting food-procurement notices that potentially include this commodity. The Early County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB due June 8, 2026) solicited line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain options; the Marion Health Care Coalition (RFQ due August 21, 2026) sought produce proposals for 2026-2027 operations; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (ITN due March 6, 2025) solicited food services including produce at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities, with a 10-point local-vendor preference; and the State of Georgia (IFB due June 22, 2026) posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid. The specific occurrence of organic orangetti squash in these solicitations is not documented, and the commodity code shows no dedicated stand-alone procurement activity limited to this item alone.
