UNSPSC 50456226: Frozen organic yellow bush scallop squash

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

UNSPSC 50456226 Frozen organic yellow bush scallop squash, a Commodity code, describes a narrow product line that state and local governments source as part of broader food-service procurement. Recent solicitations show this code sits within larger food-supply RFQs and IFBs issued by county purchasing offices, state procurement agencies, and school districts serving food-assistance programs and institutional meal services. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items—including canned proteins, vegetables, and prepared foods for the Department of Community Services—and the Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program exemplify the institutional demand. While neither solicitation explicitly names frozen organic scallop squash in publicly available summaries, both reflect the product category's typical application: institutional kitchens rely on frozen vegetables as cost-efficient, shelf-stable supplements to fresh produce. School districts particularly emphasize whole-grain, low-sodium, and ingredient-clean specifications; vendors supplying this code must meet USDA nutrition standards, food-safety documentation, and domestic-sourcing preferences where the district articulates them.

Georgia dominates recent activity, with Gwinnett County (October 2026), the State of Georgia procurement office (May 2026), and Early County Schools (May 2026) all posting opportunities. Gwinnett County's quote requires delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026, with response due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.; Early County Schools' bid required response by June 8, 2026 and awards approximately 60 days thereafter, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Both jurisdictions emphasize lowest-price evaluation and award split by line item when cost-efficient, and both require vendor compliance with E-Verify, worker-verification documentation, and suspension/debarment checks on contracts exceeding $2,499.99 or $25,000 respectively. Pricing must include transportation and packing; no separate fuel surcharges are permitted, and escalation requests are capped at 3% on a six-month review cycle tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices.
