UNSPSC 50416608: Organic crown prince squash

The variety of organic winter squashes and organic winter pumpkins known as organic crown prince squash

UNSPSC 50416608 Organic crown prince squash (Commodity) appears in state and local school-nutrition procurement dominated by fresh-produce solicitations, but the recent-opportunities block shows no specific reference to organic crown prince squash; instead, the code is tagged to broad fresh-produce and grocery-item buys for child nutrition that span dozens of commodity line items including apples, bananas, peppers, carrots, leafy greens, eggs, and prepared produce. School districts and state procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for fresh-produce and vegetable categories rather than discrete squash varieties, making the code's nominal scope a poor fit for recent transactional activity.

Recent solicitations tagged to this code come from Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Early County), Texas school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, and the State of Georgia itself; the mix is heavily skewed toward K-12 food service procurement under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Representative recent opportunities include the Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce with a May 7, 2026 deadline and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (with two optional one-year renewals), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for 30 school districts across Georgia with an estimated combined annual spend of $5.5 million and a March 4, 2026 deadline, and the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program RFP with a March 11, 2026 deadline and an estimated annual budget of $600,000 under USDA grant funding. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with scattered solicitations in Missouri; the lack of any recent bid specifically for organic crown prince squash suggests the code is either misapplied to broader fresh-produce contracts or sees minimal standalone demand in state and local procurement right now.
