UNSPSC 50456219: Frozen organic round squash

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

UNSPSC 50456219 Frozen organic round squash is a Commodity code that classifies individual frozen vegetable products procured by state and local education and food service agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code and related frozen-produce categories show school districts and state agencies buying frozen vegetables—including frozen squash alongside broader frozen-food categories—as components of larger school nutrition program contracts. 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 education or nutrition departments (Georgia, Missouri, Texas). School districts typically bundle frozen vegetables into line-item food bids or as part of frozen-foods-and-grocery solicitations that serve daily meal programs across multiple school sites. Vendors must meet HACCP plan requirements, maintain food safety documentation, comply with Buy American provisions, carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability insurance depending on the district, and often provide domestic sourcing and whole-grain or low-sodium product options when specified.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas with notable concentration in Georgia school districts. The Douglas County School System issued a fresh-produce RFP in February 2026 (due March 4, 2026) for 72 produce line items across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, procured through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 school districts. The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items in April 2026 (due May 15, 2026) requiring delivery to ten school sites with firm pricing and quarterly adjustments permitted only on verified market conditions. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items in March 2026 (due April 29, 2026) with over 900 line items and a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, accepting electronic bids through the NUTRIKIDS system. The State of Georgia posted a general food-supplies solicitation in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with scope and detail contained in attached documentation. School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending two to four additional one-year terms and include firm-price periods of 30 to 365 days with escalation clauses tied to USDA or CPI documentation for subsequent adjustments.
