UNSPSC 50354614: Frozen organic eclipse melons

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

UNSPSC 50354614 Frozen organic eclipse melons is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities posted against the code center on general food procurement for schools, senior services, and other public entities—including shelf-stable pantry items, fresh produce, dairy, meats, baked goods, condiments, and related food-service supplies—rather than frozen or organic specialty melons. The scope spans competitive bids and informal quotes for bulk food purchases supporting school meal programs, senior nutrition initiatives, and departmental food inventories, with delivery requirements, nutritional compliance standards, and quality control provisions.

Recent solicitations originate from school districts, county boards of education, county purchasing departments, and state procurement offices across Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including melons for school year 2026–27 via IFB posted June 10, 2026 with bids due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food and non-food bid June 8, 2026 encompassing approximately 300 food items; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services with quotes due October 19, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) sought grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with electronic bids due June 30, 2026. The State of Georgia also posted a broad food and kitchen-products solicitation due June 22, 2026. Most activity clusters in Georgia, with school nutrition programs and senior services representing the primary customer base. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that the commodity classification does not align with recent procurement practice and that opportunities are driven by National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions, and nutritional standards rather than specialty frozen-produce sourcing.
