UNSPSC 50344660: Frozen tuscan type melons

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

UNSPSC 50344660 Frozen Tuscan type melons (Commodity) describes a single frozen produce item, yet the code sees almost no direct recent activity in state and local procurement. The twenty-two recent opportunities tagged to this code span food service procurement broadly—grocery items for school districts, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers—but frozen Tuscan melons appear in none of them. The solicitations collectively show demand for frozen berries, dried fruits, fresh produce, ice cream, and comprehensive grocery assortments, but the specific melon commodity does not surface in any bid, RFP, RFQ, or IFB posted between January and July 2026.

Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia and Florida school districts, New Jersey Department of Human Services, Oregon Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, and Head Start of Greater Dallas, reflecting a mix of state agencies, county boards of education, and local school systems. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, New Jersey, Oregon, and Missouri. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school food service (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under CACFP requirements (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items (bids due June 26, 2026). The code shows little relevance to frozen Tuscan melons specifically and warrants close review of actual commodity demand before pursuing under this classification.
