UNSPSC 50456208: Frozen organic early golden summer crookneck squash

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

UNSPSC 50456208 Frozen organic early golden summer crookneck squash is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal activity actually targeting frozen organic crookneck squash specifically. Instead, the code appears to be used as a catch-all tag for broader food-procurement solicitations covering shelf-stable pantry items, institutional meal components, and school nutrition supplies. State and local governments are using this code to solicit multi-item food packages—peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables, and dairy products—rather than single-commodity produce purchases. The issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), reflecting a mix of social-services, general-procurement, and nutrition-program purchasing across institutional food systems.

Activity appears concentrated in Georgia, where Gwinnett County, the state itself, and Early County Schools posted recent opportunities between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 for 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract performance from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia issued a bid on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date, though the full scope was contained in an attached document. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (frozen organic crookneck squash) and the actual recent procurement activity suggests this code may not be the primary vehicle for produce-specific or specialty-commodity food purchases in state and local systems.
