UNSPSC 50354625: Frozen organic jubilation melons

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

UNSPSC 50354625 Frozen organic jubilation melons, a Commodity code, does not correspond to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source records show school districts and municipalities across multiple states soliciting comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts—encompassing frozen foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, meats, grains, and supplies for child nutrition programs—rather than the niche product the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code name and the actual solicitations signals either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed in practice to capture broader food-service procurement. The concrete buying activity spans frozen and fresh produce supply to school nutrition programs, full-line grocery distribution to school districts, and commodity-level fresh-produce contracts for institutional food service.

School districts and regional educational buying cooperatives dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri among the states represented in recent postings. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) each posted solicitations between January and June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a response deadline of June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with February 18, 2026 deadline through the GEC Buying Cooperative, estimated at $9 million annually. All solicitations require firm pricing with transportation included, compliance with Buy American provisions for domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and liability insurance of $1 million or greater.
