UNSPSC 50606615: Frozen Non GMO queensland blue squash

The variety of Non GMO winter squashes and winter pumpkins known as Non GMO queensland blue squash that has been frozen for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50606615 Frozen Non GMO queensland blue squash is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen produce item, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that specific product. The recent opportunities block does not contain solicitations for frozen queensland blue squash or frozen squash variants; instead, the records document broad school nutrition program procurements for comprehensive food supply portfolios—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, dairy, eggs, meats, and ancillary supplies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests this code is either misapplied in state and local sourcing databases or carries minimal procurement volume under its intended definition. What state and local governments are actually buying across the opportunities tagged here are annual food service contracts for school districts, typically spanning July through June fiscal cycles, with line-item or lot-based award structures, firm pricing models, and delivery to multiple school sites within stated temperature and timing windows.

School districts and school systems dominate the issuing-body mix, with procurement activity concentrated in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District), plus the State of Georgia itself issuing general food and produce RFPs. The Early County Board of Education RFP (due June 8, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) solicitation (due April 29, 2026) exemplify the scope: line-item food bids across 900+ items, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, $500,000 to $1,000,000 liability insurance floors, and firm pricing with escalation controls. Douglas County's fresh produce RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) spans 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined. The Dallas ISD RFP (due April 2, 2026) seeks multiple suppliers for specialty food items and spice/ice cream lots outside main commodity bids, with M/WBE evaluation consideration. Geographic concentration skews toward Georgia school districts and Texas, with one Missouri district represented; no significant activity is evident outside the Southeast and South-Central regions in the recent record.
