UNSPSC 50416613: Organic jarrahdale squash

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

UNSPSC 50416613 Organic jarrahdale squash is a Commodity code representing a specific produce item that state and local governments purchase through food-service procurement for institutional dining, park concessions, and school lunch programs. The recent opportunities under this code show a mix of general produce procurement — fresh fruits and vegetables supplied to healthcare facilities, school districts, and county parks — rather than jarrahdale squash specifically. State and local buyers in this category include county boards of commissioners, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. The work involves vendor selection for produce supply contracts that emphasize quality standards, food safety compliance, delivery timelines, and volume commitments, with pricing often tied to seasonal availability and USDA benchmarks. Vendors must typically carry liability insurance, maintain HACCP certification where required, comply with Buy American provisions in school contexts, and meet specific temperature and freshness guarantees for perishable goods.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdiction types. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits across the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with bids due June 8, 2026; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and allows piggybacking by other school districts. The State of Georgia posted an IFB for food and kitchen products on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 deadline. The Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) sought produce proposals on August 7, 2026 for the 2026-2027 period, due August 21, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park and the Sun N Fun Water Park, with a March 6, 2025 due date and a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. School districts and county parks represent the most active institutional buyers under this code in recent months.
