UNSPSC 50344650: Frozen spanish melons

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

UNSPSC 50344650 Frozen spanish melons is a Commodity code with little recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—frozen Spanish melon products—does not align with the actual work being solicited under this code designation in the recent opportunities block. State and local purchasing offices have tagged multiple food-service solicitations with this code, but those solicitations span broad grocery, produce, and food-service supply categories (fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, dairy, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies) rather than frozen Spanish melons specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state institutional food-service agencies—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, City Schools of Decatur, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Oregon Department of Corrections, County of Santa Clara in California, and the New Jersey Department of Human Services.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Texas, Georgia, Connecticut) with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), spanning 110+ line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and food service packaging with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services and National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026), covering 1,100+ line items with mandatory Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for a main-line food service distributor (due February 18, 2026), seeking $9 million annually across 32 schools. The code shows no evidence of frozen Spanish melon procurement activity; mismatch between code designation and actual solicitation scope suggests either classification error or dormant commodity activity.
