UNSPSC 50456210: Frozen organic gold squash

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

UNSPSC 50456210 Frozen organic gold squash is a Commodity-tier code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen vegetable products, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct demand for frozen organic squash specifically. Instead, the code appears tagged on broader food-service procurements where frozen or specialty produce items may be line items within larger vegetable and fruit categories. State and local school districts, state agencies, and county education systems solicit frozen and fresh produce through RFP and IFB notices, typically bundling dozens or hundreds of produce and grocery line items into single contracts that serve child nutrition programs across multiple school sites. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia), independent school districts (Dallas, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County, Rockwood R-VI), county school systems (Douglas County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative. The scope spans fresh produce delivery, frozen vegetables and fruits, specialty or organic variants, and ancillary food-service items such as eggs, dairy, grains, and proteins, with strict specifications for organic certification, whole-grain content, low-sodium formulations, HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, Buy American sourcing, and delivery windows timed to school meal preparation.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Missouri through school nutrition programs and state procurement channels. Douglas County School System issued RFP SN26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across two regions, with estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), closing March 4, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur issued IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with response due May 15, 2026. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with response due June 8, 2026. Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP for various food products on February 22, 2026, with response due April 2, 2026, explicitly excluding artificial colors, artificial flavors, and high-fructose corn syrup. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items for child nutrition services across over 900 line items with electronic bid submission due April 29, 2026. The code shows active procurement volume concentrated in school food-service contracts with multi-year renewal options, firm pricing requirements, and substantial annual spending across multiple vendors per district.
