UNSPSC 50354617: Frozen organic galia melons

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

UNSPSC 50354617 Frozen organic galia melons is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader frozen produce category; however, the recent state and local opportunities show little solicitation activity specifically for frozen organic galia melons. Instead, state and local food service buyers—primarily school districts and municipalities—are procuring frozen and fresh produce as part of comprehensive grocery and produce contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items. The Commodity code as named does not align with the actual scope of recent solicitations, which bundle frozen products with fresh items, dairy, meats, grains, and condiments under broader grocery or produce family codes. School districts including the City of Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, and Rockwood R-VI are issuing IFBs and RFPs for annual school nutrition program supply contracts that may include frozen produce among many other categories, but no recent posting isolates frozen organic galia melons as a standalone line item or procurement focus.

Geographic activity in the recent opportunities concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, and the Douglas County School System serving 30 school districts across two areas) and extends to Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) encompasses approximately 72 fresh produce line items with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 school districts, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 (due April 23, 2026) solicits 72 fresh produce items including apples, bananas, and bulk vegetables. The City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) and the Rockwood R-VI Child Nutrition Services bid for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026) include frozen and fresh categories but do not isolate galia melons or any single produce item. Frozen organic galia melons do not appear as a named line item in any recent posting reviewed.
