UNSPSC 50354623: Frozen organic juan canary melons

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

UNSPSC 50354623 Frozen organic juan canary melons is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for frozen melons or specialty produce; instead, they span general grocery procurement, fresh produce, food service items for school lunch and breakfast programs, and institutional food supply. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing suggests the code sees little relevant procurement activity at the state and local level, or the opportunities have been miscoded.

The recent solicitations on file reflect demand from school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state agencies (State of Georgia). These buyers are sourcing shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, meats, dairy, bread, milk, and food service supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and other meal services. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school sites; Gwinnett County's informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, sauces, and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's RFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school food service, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Given the persistent mismatch between the code name and the actual opportunities posted under it, vendors should verify coding accuracy before pursuing activity under this Commodity code.
