UNSPSC 50344624: Frozen jubilee melons

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

UNSPSC 50344624 Frozen jubilee melons is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity but shows little relevant recent solicitation volume. The recent opportunities indexed under this code span school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state health and human services facilities that buy broad grocery and produce categories, but none of the actual solicitations name frozen jubilee melons or varieties thereof as a line-item requirement. The code's nominal scope—a single frozen melon product—does not align with the work actually being solicited, which covers comprehensive food service procurement across proteins, dairy, produce, pantry staples, and consumable supplies. School districts including the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, and Bulloch County Board of Education issue the majority of recent activity under this code designation; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and state supported living centers appear as repeat institutional buyers; and county school systems in Georgia dominate the geographic mix. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries to Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), covering approximately 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and food service packaging with a prior-year spend of $32,226.36, and the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department under National School Lunch Program requirements (due June 30, 2026).

The geographic concentration spans Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, California, Missouri, and Florida, with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia school districts and Texas state institutional food service. State and local buyers in this category are primarily school food authorities and state health institutions seeking all-or-most-lines-responsive bidding on firm fixed pricing, with delivery to multiple sites, HACCP compliance, 24/7 recall accessibility, and participation in electronic ordering systems as standard requirements. Buy American provisions apply across school nutrition procurements, and insurance minimums typically range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. The code shows chronic misalignment between its nominal commodity scope and actual procurement practice—indexed opportunities treat it as a general grocery category rather than a specialty frozen fruit line, signaling that pursuit under this specific code requires clarification of whether the issuing body has actually specified frozen jubilee melons or whether vendors should anticipate broader produce or grocery line-item participation.
