UNSPSC 50344611: Frozen crenshaw melons

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

UNSPSC 50344611 Frozen crenshaw melons is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span institutional and school food service procurement — primarily fresh produce, frozen vegetables, grocery staples, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies — but frozen crenshaw melons specifically do not appear in any of the 21 recent solicitations in the dataset. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated commodity scope.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state institutional feeding), Georgia and Texas school districts and boards of education (school nutrition programs), county correction facilities (Santa Clara County), Head Start child care programs, and municipal school systems (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Decatur, Georgia). Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, Oregon, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the school lunch program (due June 30, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce serving three school sites (due June 26, 2026). Food service procurement at the state and local level emphasizes Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, USDA commodity integration, firm fixed pricing with limited adjustment mechanisms tied to CPI or wholesale market indices, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000, and delivery within specified temperature and timeframe windows. The code's nominal scope does not align with state and local purchasing patterns, and firms pursuing this category should verify whether their product fits the broader fresh and frozen produce, grocery staple, or institutional food service families rather than the specific frozen melon commodity.
