UNSPSC 50456228: Frozen organic zephyr squash

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

UNSPSC 50456228 Frozen organic zephyr squash is a Commodity-level code with little relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific frozen vegetable product—does not match the work actually being solicited under related food-service opportunities. Recent state and local postings tagged to this code and its parent family instead solicit broad food-service procurement across fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, eggs, meats, dairy, and specialty items for school nutrition programs, central food distribution, and institutional food service. The issuing bodies are 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), state education agencies (State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing organizations (GEC Buying Cooperative). The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement scope indicates this Commodity code may be misapplied or represents a de minimis portion of the broader food-procurement landscape.

Geographic concentration is in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. The State of Georgia issued multiple solicitations for food supplies and fresh produce in May 2026 (due dates June 22 and May 27), and Georgia school districts posted six RFP and IFB opportunities between February and May 2026 for fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, and food supply distribution with response dates ranging from March 4 to June 22, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited grocery items due April 29, 2026, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas posted an RFP due April 2, 2026, for various food products. Representative opportunities include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services to serve 32 schools and approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000, and the same district's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. No opportunities specifically solicit frozen organic zephyr squash as a line item.
