UNSPSC 50354621: Frozen organic icebox melons

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

UNSPSC 50354621 Frozen organic icebox melons is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes frozen organic melons, yet the most recent opportunities posted under or near this classification involve school districts, counties, and state agencies purchasing broad grocery baskets—shelf-stable canned goods, fresh produce, dairy, meat, bread, and paper supplies for school nutrition programs and county senior services—rather than frozen melon products specifically. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ 140229 purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid for the Board of Education spanning over 1,100 line items across breakfast cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy, Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh-produce RFP emphasizing apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and melons, Early County Board of Education's May 2026 food bid covering meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, grains, and condiments, and the State of Georgia's May 2026 food and kitchen-products bid all reflect purchasing for school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and institutional food service rather than procurement aligned with frozen organic melon specifications.

The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County), county government (Gwinnett County), and state agencies (Georgia), concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to frozen organic icebox melons; instead, opportunities under nearby classifications reflect broad food-service procurement with Buy American requirements, National School Lunch Program compliance, HACCP plans, and firm pricing through contract term. Buyers emphasize domestic agricultural sourcing, nutrition standards compliance, delivery to school warehouses and satellite sites, and payment terms between 30 and 45 days. If pursuing this code, verify the actual commodity scope with issuing agencies before bidding, as the mismatch between the nominal code and recent opportunity detail suggests potential misclassification in the procurement database.
