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 see recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The source contains nine recent school nutrition and food service opportunities posted between January and June 2026, but none targets frozen organic melons as a line item or primary procurement focus. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), and the Decatur City Schools frozen foods and grocery IFB (PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026) encompass hundreds of line items across produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods, but the solicitations do not isolate or specify frozen organic melons as a distinct commodity requiring separate bids. State and local purchasing activity in this code tier appears dormant, with procurement instead flowing through broader commodity families covering fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery supply contracts managed by school districts, county boards of education, and city purchasing offices across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri.

School districts remain the dominant issuing bodies in the broader food service category, with the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, and City Schools of Decatur all posting large annual contracts with firm fixed pricing and multi-year renewal options. These jurisdictions emphasize HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards across centralized and school-site deliveries. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Because frozen organic melons are rarely sourced as standalone line items in state and local school nutrition contracting—procurement instead bundling melons into broader fresh or frozen produce categories with hundreds of competing items—this Commodity code presents minimal near-term opportunity.
