UNSPSC 50416612: Organic hubbard squash

The variety of organic winter squashes and organic winter pumpkins known as organic hubbard squash

UNSPSC 50416612 Organic hubbard squash is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce items for institutional food service, with recent solicitations dominated by school nutrition programs purchasing broad produce assortments rather than single-commodity specialty purchases. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri are actively soliciting fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs to supply child nutrition, school breakfast, and lunch programs, with individual line items for squash embedded in larger multi-item produce contracts rather than organic hubbard squash as a standalone procurement driver. The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward public school districts (elementary through high schools) and school nutrition programs, with occasional state-level or county-level buys from Georgia, Texas, and Missouri; key repeat buyers include Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia).

Recent representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) issuing RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to all district campuses five days per week from August 2026 through May 2027, with response due May 7, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting an RFP for line-by-line food bids supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with 300+ food items and response due June 8, 2026; and Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB 27-02 for fresh produce procurement across 16 school locations with sealed bids due April 14, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Douglas County, Bulloch County, and Early County), Texas (Northside ISD in San Antonio, McAllen ISD, and Austin ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Vendors responding to these opportunities typically must comply with USDA Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP certification, carry $1 million minimum general liability insurance, and deliver on fixed schedules to school locations; pricing is commonly indexed to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or terminal market reports with firm-price commitments for contract terms running July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options.
