UNSPSC 50344661: Frozen yellow baby watermelon

The variety of melons known as yellow baby watermelon that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344661 Frozen yellow baby watermelon (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent opportunities block. The source returns seventeen frozen-food, produce, and grocery solicitations from school districts, state agencies, counties, and special-purpose organizations across Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey, but none specifically name frozen yellow baby watermelons or any melon product by variety or processing state. The code's nominal scope—a specific frozen produce item—does not match the actual buying pattern, which spans broad grocery and food-service categories (proteins, dairy, prepared foods, beverages, fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, and associated supplies and equipment).

State and local buyers soliciting under food codes at this tier issue school nutrition RFPs and IFBs regularly through county boards of education, city school districts, and health-and-human-services agencies. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Henry County Schools, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fulton County Schools), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for Big Spring State Hospital and El Paso State Supported Living Center, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and scattered activity in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Oregon (Department of Corrections), California (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office), and New Jersey (Department of Human Services). The mix spans state agency food procurement (HHSC, DSHS, county corrections), school district nutrition programs (typically the dominant buyer type), and institutional food service. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (IFB HHS0017660, due July 27, 2026, covering approximately 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and packaging); the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's Grocery Items (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American compliance and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards); and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026, seeking a main-line distributor for approximately 32,000 meals daily with an estimated $9 million annual spend). The code itself shows minimal relevant recent procurement signals; the taxonomy mismatch suggests this commodity code is either narrowly used or mistagged across the state and local procurement ecosystem.
