UNSPSC 50354619: Frozen organic hami melons

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

UNSPSC 50354619 Frozen organic hami melons (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement activity supported by the recent-opportunities block. The nine most recent grocery and food-supply solicitations from state and local education agencies across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri span frozen foods, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, and comprehensive grocery lines — but none explicitly names frozen organic hami melons as a line item. The Commodity's nominal scope (a single frozen specialty melon product) is narrower and more specialized than the bundled procurement patterns state and local school nutrition programs actually execute. School districts and state agencies that do buy specialty frozen produce items source them as one line within larger grocery or produce contracts awarded to main-line food distributors or multi-category vendors, not as standalone solicitations.

Recent opportunities show that state and local education agencies — primarily school districts and county boards of education, with one state-level Georgia procurement and one municipal education buyer (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut) — consolidate food purchasing into master grocery or produce contracts spanning hundreds of line items, with annual values in the $1.1 million to $9 million range and contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30. Representative solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (BNB052266, June 30, 2026 closing) spanning over 1,100 line items; the Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB (June 26, 2026 closing); the Rockwood School District grocery bid in Missouri (April 29, 2026 closing, over 900 line items); and the Douglas County Schools food supply and distribution RFP (February 18, 2026 closing, approximately $9 million annually). These jurisdictions cluster in the Southeast and Midwest, with most activity in Georgia and secondary concentration in Missouri and Connecticut. Vendors pursuing this code should focus upstream at the primary grocery and produce bundled contracts, where specialty frozen items may appear as sub-lines within broader category awards.
