UNSPSC 50446603: Frozen banana pink squash

The variety of winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as banana pink squash that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446603 Frozen banana pink squash is a Commodity code that sees active procurement activity among state and local institutions focused on food service operations — corrections, schools, health and human services, and municipal facilities — but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for frozen banana pink squash specifically. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects institutional food procurement broadly: frozen vegetables (carrots, assorted blends, corn, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, stir fry blends), fresh produce, groceries, and comprehensive food service contracts. The mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope indicates that frozen banana pink squash does not appear in the current state and local procurement pipeline in any of the opportunities posted in the past six months.

The issuing bodies across recent frozen vegetable and institutional food procurements span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Decatur City Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Bulloch County Schools in Georgia; Dallas Independent School District in Texas; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), county and municipal facilities (Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives (Douglas County School System serving 30 districts in Georgia). Geographic concentration centers on Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia for the most recent postings, with additional activity in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, and New Jersey. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen corn and frozen potato products (due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers (historical contract value $4.5 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts ($5.5 million estimated annual spend). Pricing in recent frozen vegetable awards has ranged from $0.3811 to $0.689 per pound depending on product type and packaging, with state preferences in Oregon (10 percent combined for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders) and Buy American requirements standard across school district solicitations.
