UNSPSC 50446202: Frozen butternut squash

The variety of summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as butternut squash that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446202 Frozen butternut squash is a Commodity code that identifies a single product line within state and local procurement, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for frozen butternut squash specifically. Instead, the source documents recent state and local purchases of frozen vegetables more broadly — frozen corn, frozen potatoes (french fries and wedges), frozen carrots, frozen assorted vegetables, and frozen mixed vegetables — across institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, school districts, and state-supported living centers. The code appears inactive in the current solicitation environment, with no recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity directly tagged to frozen butternut squash procurement.

State and local buyers issuing frozen-vegetable solicitations span multiple issuing-body types: the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has issued multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables including corn and assorted blends; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) procures cafeteria food products including frozen items; school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia solicit frozen and fresh produce for child nutrition programs; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) seeks supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, and Southeast (Georgia), with secondary activity in the mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Virginia) and Midwest (Missouri). Representative recent opportunities include ODOC Solicitation S2910000017451 (frozen corn, ITB, due July 24, 2026), ODOC Solicitation S2910000017439 (frozen potatoes, ITB, due July 24, 2026), the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products serving TDCJ warehouses across five geographic areas (response due May 4, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education grocery procurement (RFP, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items including frozen products. No current market activity supports frozen butternut squash as a standalone procurement focus; vendors positioning in this space should monitor broader frozen-vegetable and institutional food-service solicitations where butternut squash may be bundled with mixed-vegetable assortments.
