UNSPSC 50354636: Frozen organic peacock melons

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

UNSPSC 50354636 Frozen organic peacock melons (Commodity) does not match the scope of work actually being procured under recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code. The recent solicitation records show no activity for frozen organic peacock melons; instead, they document requests for broad-based food procurement spanning fresh produce, shelf-stable groceries, school lunch program items, dairy, proteins, and kitchen supplies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables; Bridgeport Board of Education issued a competitive bid for over 1,100 grocery line items subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards; Hancock County Board of Education requested bids on fresh produce varieties including apples, berries, and leafy greens; and Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line bids for food, non-food supplies, and dairy products supporting the National School Lunch Program. The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity and represents a mismatch between the nominal commodity name and actual state and local purchasing patterns.

The geographic spread of food procurement activity under related codes extends across Georgia (Gwinnett, Hancock, and Early County school systems and state-level solicitations), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and likely other jurisdictions in the broader recent-opportunity dataset, though the issuing bodies are predominantly county school districts and boards of education focused on child nutrition programming. The representative opportunities demonstrate that state and local governments procure food through a mix of informal quotation requests (RFQs and IFBs), formal competitive sealed-bid processes with extended scope documentation, and multi-vendor awards. Response dates typically cluster in late June and early to mid-October, suggesting alignment with school-year budget cycles and inventory planning windows. The Commodity code 50354636 does not represent a pursued procurement category within this activity stream.
