UNSPSC 50456201: Frozen organic boston marrow squash

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

UNSPSC 50456201 Frozen organic boston marrow squash, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local government, with recent opportunities showing minimal alignment to this specific product line. The most recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code encompass broad food procurement — fresh produce, frozen foods and grocery items, eggs, and comprehensive food-service supply contracts — rather than frozen organic squash specifically. When state and local procurement officers do solicit food products, they procure items through school nutrition programs, institutional food services, and commodity distribution channels, typically bundling produce and frozen vegetables into larger line-item or lot-based contracts rather than specifying individual frozen organic produce items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia), reflecting the dominant use case of institutional meal programs serving students under USDA Child Nutrition Program requirements.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional procurement in Texas. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and frozen goods for school breakfast and lunch programs; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with approximately $4.4 million estimated annual spend for Area One (due March 4, 2026); and City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026, with optional pre-bid April 29, 2026) requiring HACCP plans and Buy American compliance. Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026) and Rockwood School District's 2026-2027 grocery bid (due April 29, 2026) similarly bundle frozen and fresh items into multi-vendor awards. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, USDA compliance, and firm pricing for 12-month terms, but frozen organic squash does not appear as a line-item focus in these contracts, suggesting limited current demand for this specific commodity at the state and local level.
