UNSPSC 50344620: Frozen honeydew melons

Any of a variety of muskmelon vines having fruit with a smooth white rind and white or greenish flesh that does not have a musky smell that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344620 Frozen honeydew melons is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. State and local governments buy frozen honeydew melon products primarily through institutional food service contracts serving state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and county senior services programs. The solicitations show that frozen fruit items appear embedded within larger food-service aggregations rather than as standalone line-item procurements; frozen honeydew melons are one commodity among dozens or hundreds of frozen-food SKUs that vendors must supply as part of comprehensive food-service agreements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, county commissioners' offices, and regional Head Start organizations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly across multiple fiscal-year institutional-feeding contracts for state hospitals and supported living centers, suggesting sustained state-level demand for frozen fruit commodities as part of broader food-service portfolios.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Florida. The Texas HHSC has posted multiple IFBs for frozen food products and supplemental food and consumables for state facilities, with bid deadlines in August 2026 and contract values ranging from approximately $32,000 to $9 million annually across individual procurement vehicles. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (S2910000017684, due August 19, 2026), offering combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling up to 10 percent. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh and frozen produce for the 2026-27 school year (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), and the State of New Jersey Department of Human Services issued a rebid for frozen vegetables including mixed-vegetable blends (26DPP01307, due June 17, 2026). The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) also posted food-procurement vehicles in summer and fall 2026. None of the recent opportunities identified isolated frozen-honeydew-melon procurements; the code sees activity only as part of multi-line institutional food-service contracts where frozen fruit is one commodity class among many.
