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

UNSPSC 50456612 Frozen organic hubbard squash is a Commodity code that sits within the broader produce-supply ecosystem state and local governments purchase for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition operations. While the code nominally describes a single frozen produce item, recent state and local solicitations under this code span comprehensive food-service procurement—including fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, produce staples, dairy, meats, grains, and related supplies—for school districts, state agencies, and multi-district buying cooperatives. School districts represent the dominant issuing bodies, with Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, City Schools of Decatur, Early County, Rockwood R-VI, and Dallas Independent School District all posting solicitations between January and June 2026. Georgia state agencies also appear as direct buyers of fresh produce and food items. The work encompasses line-item bidding for individual produce SKUs, lot-based procurement for grouped items, and annual supply agreements with estimated expenditures ranging from hundreds of thousands to nine million dollars annually.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas.
