UNSPSC 50416223: Organic sweet dumpling squash

The variety of organic summer squashes and organic summer pumpkins known as organic sweet dumpling squash

UNSPSC 50416223 Organic sweet dumpling squash, a Commodity code, names a single produce variety; state and local governments purchasing under this code actually buy fresh produce for school nutrition, child feeding programs, institutional food service, and farm-to-school initiatives. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated among county boards of education, independent school districts, and school nutrition departments serving child nutrition and school lunch programs.

Recent solicitations show sustained demand across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida for fresh produce supplied to school cafeterias and child nutrition programs. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District (NISD) in Bexar County, Texas, seeking fresh produce for child nutrition via RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026), emphasizing USDA-compliant items, Texas-grown sourcing through "Harvest of the Month," and weekly delivery to all campuses August through May; the Early County Board of Education in Georgia requesting line-by-line food bids for 300+ items via ITB (due June 8, 2026) with emphasis on whole-grain bread, low-sodium formulations, and domestic sourcing; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida, seeking specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program via RFP 26039RFQDST (due March 11, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $600,000); and the Bulloch County School District in Georgia issuing an IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items (within 200 miles, due May 4, 2026) supporting its Farm to School program. Procurement activity spans Georgia (Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Liberty, Bulloch, Douglas, Early, and Bulloch County school systems and the State of Georgia), Texas (NISD and McAllen and Austin independent school districts), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), with school districts seeking to meet USDA Buy American standards, HACCP compliance, specific shelf-life requirements, and increasingly, local and sustainably sourced options.
