UNSPSC 50354613: Frozen organic dixie lee melons

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

UNSPSC 50354613 Frozen organic dixie lee melons, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of specialty frozen produce items as components of broader school nutrition and institutional foodservice sourcing. Recent solicitations under this code show little direct activity targeting frozen melons as standalone line items; instead, the code appears to capture specialty frozen produce within larger grocery and produce aggregations that school districts and education agencies are actively procuring for child nutrition programs.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under codes encompassing frozen specialty produce are primarily school districts and boards of education across multiple states, with secondary activity from city procurement offices supporting school nutrition services. Recent opportunities show school districts in Georgia (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Early County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport supporting Bridgeport Board of Education), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive grocery and produce contracts during the 2026–2027 school year. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, and the Rockwood R-VI School District issued an electronic bid solicitation for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning melons and other items with a June 26, 2026 due date. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with supporting activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Frozen specialty melons, when procured, are purchased as fill-in items within larger food-service frameworks emphasizing Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, nutrition standards aligned with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges; the actual volume and frequency of frozen melon procurement as a distinct line item remain unclear from available solicitation summaries.
