UNSPSC 50344632: Frozen mirage melons

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

UNSPSC 50344632 Frozen mirage melons (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily through grocery and food service contracting for institutional feeding operations—schools, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs—where frozen produce items are sourced as components of broader meal-service solicitations. The code shows minimal standalone solicitation activity; frozen specialty melons are not a distinct line item in recent bids, and when the code appears, it is tagged to comprehensive grocery or frozen-foods procurements that bundle melons with dozens of other produce and protein categories under single contracts.

Issuing bodies across the dataset span school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Rockwood R-VI, Decatur City Schools, Henry County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, and Fulton County Schools in Georgia and Missouri), state institutional buyers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), county correction facilities (Santa Clara County), and federal-grant-funded child nutrition nonprofits (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries serving Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), covering 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages at a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) IFB BID052266 for 1,100+ grocery line items supporting school nutrition (due June 30, 2026, already closed), requiring Buy American compliance and HHFKA nutrition standards; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ items including melons, berries, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026). No state or local procurement office has issued a standalone solicitation for frozen mirage melons in the recent sample; the code's activity depends entirely on winning portions of large multi-category food-service contracts where frozen fruit competes against dozens of alternative lines for line-item awards.
