UNSPSC 50416229: Organic zucchini squash

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

UNSPSC 50416229 Organic zucchini squash, a Commodity code, reflects state and local government food procurement for schools, parks, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies — covering fresh produce as part of broader food-service operations rather than organic produce as a specialty market. The solicitations under this code show state and local buyers purchasing produce within cafeteria operations, concession services, and institutional food programs that emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables meeting quality and delivery standards. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county parks departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (Georgia), with school districts and state agencies representing the largest volume of activity. The scope spans routine weekly or seasonal delivery of fresh vegetables and fruits to support meal programs, concession venues, and patient or visitor dining, with vendors expected to meet food-safety compliance, maintain temperature and freshness standards, and adjust pricing seasonally.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid (IFB) due June 8, 2026, soliciting vegetables and fruits among 300+ food items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with domestic sourcing and low-sodium preferences specified. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) posted October 8, 2026, for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including concession facilities serving fresh food and beverage options at soccer and softball tournaments, with a three-year contract term and local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposal solicitation due August 21, 2026, for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery according to operational needs and quality standards for the 2026-2027 fiscal period.
