UNSPSC 50416600: Organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins

The type of organic vegetable known as organic winter squashes and organic winter pumpkins

UNSPSC 50416600 Organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins is a Class code that does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity captured in the source. The source contains 16 solicitations posted between February and May 2026, all of which seek fresh produce supply contracts for school nutrition programs and state operations. None of these opportunities specifically names winter squashes, winter pumpkins, or organic produce as a discrete line item or contract focus. The solicitations reference comprehensive fresh-produce portfolios (apples, bananas, leafy greens, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, berries, and prepared produce items) and eggs, but do not isolate specialty crops or organic designations as contracting vehicles. The code's nominal scope—organic winter squashes and pumpkins—does not align with the work actually being solicited under the UNSPSC tags assigned to these opportunities.

State and local school districts and state departments across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, Utah, and Arizona are procuring fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates clustered between late February and early June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 131 campuses (response deadline May 7, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables supporting the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program across 18 elementary schools (response deadline March 11, 2026); Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (response deadline March 4, 2026); and the State of Georgia IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce procurement supporting state operations (response deadline May 27, 2026). The broader market emphasizes Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, domestic-sourcing preferences, and USDA-compliant delivery and food safety standards, but recent activity does not support material procurement volume under UNSPSC 50416600 specifically.
