UNSPSC 50354613 Frozen organic dixie lee melons is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable and fresh produce items, frozen products, and related food service supplies procured by state and local education, senior services, and social-services agencies. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments buying broad food-service baskets—shelf-stable pantry items, fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, and associated kitchen and cleaning supplies—to support school lunch and breakfast programs, senior nutrition services, and community-services feeding operations.
