UNSPSC 50354646: Frozen organic royal star melons

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

UNSPSC 50354646 Frozen organic royal star melons (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are predominantly broad grocery and food-service solicitations for school nutrition programs and institutional food supply, spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, and related items — not specialized frozen melon products. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope (a single frozen fruit product line) and the actual procurement activity being conducted, indicating little relevant market activity specifically for frozen royal star melons at the state and local level.

The recent opportunities show school districts and educational systems across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri sourcing comprehensive food inventories to support breakfast and lunch programs under the National School Lunch Program and related federal nutrition mandates. Issuing bodies include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (for Bridgeport Board of Education), Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System (serving 30 districts through a cooperative purchasing vehicle). Representative opportunities include Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County's IFB for 200+ fresh produce items (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas with estimated spending of $4.4 to $1.1 million by area (due March 4, 2026). Across these solicitations, frozen fruits appear as line items within larger food-service contracts, but no solicitation specifically targets frozen royal star melons or comparable single-product specialty frozen fruit procurement.
