UNSPSC 50416604: Organic big max squash

The variety of organic winter squashes and organic winter pumpkins known as organic big max squash

UNSPSC 50416604 Organic big max squash is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader fresh produce and food-service sourcing, though recent opportunities show the code itself sees limited direct use. State and local issuing bodies acquiring produce under this classification include county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, state food-procurement offices, and school districts. The actual work being solicited spans food services at regional parks with concession operations, produce delivery to healthcare facilities, bulk food and kitchen supplies to state agencies, and line-item food bids to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Vendors typically compete on quality standards, delivery timelines, volume capacity, food safety compliance, and pricing; school districts and healthcare buyers emphasize domestic sourcing, freshness guarantees, and regulatory adherence including HACCP certification and recall procedures.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response due March 6, 2025), emphasizing vendor qualifications, menu variety, and food safety with a 10-point local-vendor preference and a three-year contract term with renewal options. Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period, with emphasis on quality standards and delivery compliance.
