UNSPSC 50354628: Frozen organic korean melons

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

UNSPSC 50354628 Frozen organic Korean melons is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities record shows no active state or local solicitations specifically for frozen organic Korean melons. The nine recent postings tagged to this code span school district food and nutrition procurement across the South and Midwest, covering broad grocery categories (fresh produce, frozen foods, eggs, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and supplies), not specialty frozen melon products. The issuing bodies are school districts and municipal school systems—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)—alongside the State of Georgia's food procurement. These jurisdictions purchase through standard IFB and RFP processes, with contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, pricing firm for the contract period, and delivery to school sites Monday through Friday. All solicitations require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), E-Verify authorization, liability insurance, and federal debarment certification.

The geographic footprint reflects heavy activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, and the state-level procurement), with secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood). Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products, the Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items, and the Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two). No recent solicitations explicitly name frozen organic Korean melons as a line item; the code appears to be a mislabeling or a legacy classification that does not align with current state and local procurement under this category.
