UNSPSC 50456207: Frozen organic delicious squash

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

UNSPSC 50456207 Frozen organic delicious squash is a Commodity code representing a single frozen produce product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and child nutrition operations. Recent state and local opportunities show that this code sits within a much wider food procurement ecosystem: the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for frozen organic squash, but instead captures district-wide and statewide food service bids that bundle frozen produce alongside fresh produce, dairy, grains, proteins, and other food items. The solicitations reveal that state and local buyers—predominantly school districts and state agencies—source frozen vegetables and fruits as line items within comprehensive food service contracts that must meet USDA nutritional standards, Buy American requirements, HACCP food safety protocols, and increasingly stringent health mandates such as whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, zero trans fats, and avoidance of artificial colors and additives.

School districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas dominate recent activity: the Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) have all posted RFPs and IFBs in the past four months for food procurement covering fiscal year 2026-2027 or 2027. The State of Georgia has also issued two separate bids—one bundled food-supplies IFB posted May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) and a fresh-produce IFB posted April 20, 2026 (due May 27, 2026). Representative opportunities include the Early County Schools' line-by-line food bid (RFP due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items with firm pricing for the full July 2026–June 2027 contract period, and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026) serving 25,500 students across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. A vendor pursuing frozen organic squash would encounter it as a component line item rather than a standalone procurement category; qualification, insurance, compliance, and pricing structure are determined by the parent food service contract, not the individual commodity.
