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

UNSPSC 50354608 Frozen organic cavaillon melons is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh and processed produce — primarily shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh produce, and protein items — procured by state and local education, human services, and nutrition programs. The recent solicitations show state and local governments buying comprehensive food-service supplies for school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and emergency nutrition assistance, spanning hundreds of line items from individual proteins and vegetables to bread, dairy, and condiments. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county human services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Department of Community Services), municipal school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education via the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with contracts binding vendors to USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), whole-grain and nutrition-standard requirements under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and HACCP food safety plans.
