UNSPSC 50416225: Organic waltham butternut squash

The variety of organic summer squashes and organic summer pumpkins known as organic waltham butternut squash

UNSPSC 50416225 Organic waltham butternut squash is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce — primarily organic squash and related vegetables — supplied to state and local food-service operations including school districts, parks and recreation departments, healthcare facilities, and state procurement offices. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying fresh produce through competitive bids and proposals for cafeteria operations, concession facilities, and institutional food programs. Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB for school lunch and breakfast program supplies illustrates the scope: the district sought 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county boards of commissioners, health care coalitions, and state departments; school districts appear as repeat buyers for seasonal procurement cycles tied to the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program fiscal years.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and additional jurisdictions tracked in state and local cooperative purchasing systems. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting an IFB June 8, 2026 for produce and related food items for three schools; Marion Health Care Coalition posting a proposal request August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posting an Invitation to Negotiate March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park that includes concession and beverage operations; and the State of Georgia posting an IFB June 22, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. Early County's bid retained firm pricing for 15 days post-award with escalation or de-escalation considered on a six-month basis supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data; price increases exceeding 3% permit provisional sourcing elsewhere. School district contracts typically run annual fiscal-year cycles (July to June) with renewal options, while park concessions and healthcare facilities operate on multi-year terms with seasonal demand peaks.
