UNSPSC 50456616: Frozen organic rouge vif d'etampes squash

The variety of organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as organic rouge vif d'etampes squash that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456616 Frozen organic rouge vif d'etampes squash is a Commodity code that appears to reflect a narrow produce classification, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no specific solicitations for the named product. The most recent opportunities posted against this code request shelf-stable food items, school lunch program provisions (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments), and general kitchen products — a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state procurement offices, and school district boards of education, each sourcing food items for social services, statewide meal programs, and student nutrition initiatives. Food service procurement at this tier typically requires compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, general liability insurance, E-Verify verification for larger awards, and adherence to USDA nutritional standards.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and soups due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia posting a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food and paper supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program due June 8, 2026. Awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing evaluated per unit of measure. The code shows little activity specific to frozen organic squash varieties and does not map clearly to the recent opportunities posted under it; firms pursuing this classification should verify actual commodity scope with issuing bodies before bidding.
