UNSPSC 50344605: Frozen carnical melons

The variety of melons known as carnical melons that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344605 Frozen Carnival Melons is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually purchasing under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged with this code show no procurement activity aligned with frozen carnival melons specifically; instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food-service and nutrition-assistance categories including shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, frozen vegetables and proteins, dairy products, and canteen supplies for institutional feeding programs. The mismatch between the code's narrow product name and the diverse food categories appearing in tagged solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding of food-service opportunities or minimal recent demand for frozen carnival melons specifically.

State and local issuing bodies active in the broader frozen-food and grocery space include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), which posted multiple institutional food-service bids for state hospitals and supported living centers; county school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and New Jersey; Head Start and child-care programs; county parks and recreation departments; and county departments of community services. Recent representative opportunities include Texas HHSC's frozen-food procurement (IFB HHS0017338, approximately $9 million estimated annual volume) for state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas with delivery to 18 qualified ordering entities, posted July 17, 2026 with bids due August 18, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including proteins, vegetables, and pantry staples for the Department of Community Services, posted October 13, 2026 with quotes due October 19, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce bid for the 2026-27 school year covering over 200 line items of fresh vegetables and fruits, posted June 10, 2026 with bids due June 26, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not support reliable market characterization for frozen carnival melons specifically.
