UNSPSC 50354612: Frozen organic crimson sweet melons

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

UNSPSC 50354612 Frozen organic crimson sweet melons is a Commodity-tier code under which state and local governments procure fresh and processed produce items for food service operations, schools, senior services, and institutional nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing broad baskets of produce and food products — including fresh melons, berries, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty fruits alongside complementary shelf-stable items such as canned proteins, grains, sauces, and dairy — for National School Lunch Program compliance and general food service distribution. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and cities (City of Bridgeport). School districts dominate the recent opportunity pool and drive volume through recurring annual nutrition contracts tied to the school fiscal year (July 1 to June 30).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 bid due date; Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food and non-food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300+ food items and 60+ supply items; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department through an electronic bid portal with a June 30, 2026 deadline and over 1,100 line items subject to Buy American Provision requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards; and the State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Most school-district contracts specify firm fixed pricing throughout the fiscal year with no separate fuel surcharges, delivery Monday through Friday during morning hours to central warehouses and school sites, F.O.B. Destination with inside delivery, and Buy American compliance documentation including HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and vendor recall procedures.
