UNSPSC 50354622: Frozen organic ida pride melons

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

UNSPSC 50354622 Frozen organic Idaho Pride melons, a Commodity-tier code, covers frozen specialty melons purchased by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs and county social services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring frozen melon products as components of broader food-service contracts that include shelf-stable items, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and senior services. The actual purchasing pattern reflects institutional food service — school districts and county departments of community services procure frozen melons alongside dozens or hundreds of other food line items under single coordinated buys rather than as standalone specialty purchases. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, municipal school districts, state procurement offices, and county social services departments.

Georgia and Connecticut dominate recent activity. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items with a June 26, 2026 bid deadline; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) released an RFQ for approximately 300+ food items plus non-food supplies due June 8, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) posted an IWQ for 1,062 cases of food items on October 13, 2026 with quotes due October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) solicited bids for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the school board's food service on June 30, 2026; and the State of Georgia issued a bid for food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026. None of these recent opportunities isolates frozen melons as a discrete line item — the code shows no standalone or category-specific frozen-melon procurement activity in the current period.
