UNSPSC 50456225: Frozen organic waltham butternut squash

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

UNSPSC 50456225 Frozen organic waltham butternut squash is a Commodity code capturing shelf-stable and frozen produce items that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show the code in use for bulk food purchasing that extends beyond the specific squash variety to encompass a broader range of produce, proteins, canned goods, and related food-service items delivered to schools, county senior centers, and other public facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county departments of human services or community services, with purchasing structured as informal written quotes (IWQ), line-item bids, and standard RFQ processes. Vendors compete on unit-of-measure pricing, must provide references for similar institutional food-service work, maintain compliance with federal worker verification and E-Verify requirements when contract value exceeds thresholds, and deliver to specific locations with strict quality and timing specifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including shelf-stable proteins, grains, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education issued a line-item bid in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items across the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. School districts and county agencies typically award based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder, split awards by line item when beneficial, require F.O.B. Destination delivery within 72 hours of order when possible, and reserve the right to reject or waive technicalities.
