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 ida pride melons, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains nine school nutrition and food service solicitations from state and local education agencies, but none specifically procure frozen organic Ida Pride melons or any single frozen fruit commodity in isolation. The recent opportunities span comprehensive grocery and fresh produce procurement—including fresh melons, frozen foods, and broad product lines across produce, dairy, proteins, and supplies—but the code's nominal scope does not align with what is actually being bought.

The solicitations show repeated demand from school districts and education authorities across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut for food service contracts supporting National School Lunch Program and breakfast programs, issued as IFBs and RFPs with response dates between February and June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts (estimated $5.5 million annually, due March 4, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh produce line items (due April 23, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery (due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's bid for 900+ grocery line items (due April 29, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' bid for grocery items supporting the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026). These procurement cycles run July 1 to June 30 annually with standard compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and liability insurance. Given the mismatch between the code's specific commodity designation and the generalist scope of recent opportunities, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors specializing in frozen organic melon supply.
