UNSPSC 50416222: Organic sugar loaf squash

The variety of organic summer squashes and organic summer pumpkins known as organic sugar loaf squash

UNSPSC 50416222 Organic sugar loaf squash is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce items sourced by state and local government food services, including schools, parks, health care facilities, and state purchasing consortiums. State and local buyers under this code acquire fresh fruits and vegetables—including organic varieties—for meal programs, concession operations, and institutional food service. The work involves vendor qualification for product quality, food safety compliance, timely delivery, and adherence to nutritional or sourcing preferences (such as domestic sourcing or organic certification). Issuing bodies span school districts, county parks and recreation departments, state procurement offices, and health care or coalition entities. Counties and school districts appear as repeat solicitors for produce contracts that bundle multiple produce lines rather than single-item commodity purchases.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and multistate health care networks. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in May 2026 for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and firm pricing required for 15 days from award. Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN in October 2026 for food and beverage services at North Collier Regional Park, which includes produce for concession operations across multiple venues; that opportunity applied a 10-point local-vendor preference and required proposals by March 6, 2025. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals in August 2026 with delivery and freshness guarantees tied to the 2026-2027 contract period. Georgia also issued a statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026 with responses due June 22, 2026. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; contracts typically run one fiscal or calendar year with renewal options.
