UNSPSC 50586127 Non GMO yellow straightneck squash is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy fresh produce—including specialty vegetables like squash—primarily to support child nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and school breakfast and lunch services. The code sees steady procurement activity across school districts and state agencies that source institutional fresh vegetables and fruits for cafeterias serving thousands of students daily.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, ranging from small rural districts (Early County Schools in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools) to large metropolitan systems (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio serving 128 schools, Austin Independent School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and McAllen ISD serving 31 campuses across 20,000 students). State purchasing offices (Georgia Department of Education) and county boards of education round out the buyer base. Georgia shows the highest recent concentration of activity, with at least six active solicitations from school districts and state entities in early 2026; Texas activity includes multiple large-district procurements (NISD, AISD, McAllen); and Florida, Missouri, and other states show secondary activity. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce to all district campuses with delivery five days per week (due May 7, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items including vegetables and specialty produce with a July 1, 2026 contract start (due June 8, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for approximately 60 produce line items including fresh fruits and vegetables across 16 schools (due April 14, 2026), and Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 fresh, locally-grown produce items within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026). Contracts typically run one fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) with renewal options; delivery schedules are Monday through Friday during school hours; vendors must maintain HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, product traceability, and general liability insurance commonly at $1 million minimum; and pricing is often firm for the contract term with midterm adjustments permitted only for documented commodity market increases.
