UNSPSC 50344652: Frozen starbright melons

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

UNSPSC 50344652 Frozen starbright melons, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single specialized frozen fruit product, yet recent solicitations tagged under it span broad institutional food procurement across proteins, dairy, produce, prepared entrees, condiments, and consumable supplies—none specifically requesting frozen starbright melons. The mismatch suggests either tagging drift in the procurement system or that frozen starbright melons represent an incidental line item within larger food-service contracts rather than a standalone procurement category. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Collier County), and specialized service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Institutional food service drives the majority of activity, spanning school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and park concessions.

Geographic spread concentrates in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and its supporting agencies), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, State of Georgia), and select other jurisdictions including Florida (Collier County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), New Jersey (Department of Human Services), and Texas-based nonprofits. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 requesting 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with an October 19, 2026 response date; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017338 soliciting 106 line items of frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers with an estimated $9 million annual volume and August 18, 2026 bid deadline; Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000017684 requesting 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples with an August 19, 2026 response date and 5 percent Oregon-goods preference; and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB covering over 200 line items including multiple apple and melon varieties with a June 26, 2026 bid opening. The code itself reports no actionable recent procurement signal specific to frozen starbright melons as a distinct commodity.
