UNSPSC 50354618: Frozen organic gaya melons

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

UNSPSC 50354618 Frozen organic gaya melons is a Commodity-level code that captures procurement of specialty frozen melon products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity targeting frozen gaya melons specifically. The opportunities posted in the recent-opportunities block are tagged broadly under school nutrition procurement covering multiple frozen and fresh produce categories — the City of Bridgeport seeking over 1,100 grocery line items for Board of Education food service, Hancock County Schools requesting over 200 fresh produce items, Rockwood School District soliciting 900+ grocery items, and Savannah-Chatham County Schools requesting 72 fresh produce items — but none isolate frozen gaya melons as a line item or specify that commodity. The code does not show distinct, high-volume demand from state or local procurement offices. School districts and their child nutrition departments are the primary issuing bodies active in these notices, with secondary activity from city purchasing offices on behalf of school boards.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the Southeast; Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia), Douglas County School System (Douglasville, Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Decatur, Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Savannah, Georgia) dominate the recent postings, with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, St. Louis County) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with bid due June 26, 2026, and Rockwood School District's grocery items solicitation closing April 29, 2026 via electronic submission to fischercarmen@rsdmo.org and kulikhilary@rsdmo.org. The code shows little recent focused procurement of frozen gaya melons as a distinct line item; bidders pursuing school nutrition supply contracts should track fresh and frozen produce bundles more broadly rather than expect isolated demand for this specialty commodity.
