UNSPSC 50354651: Frozen organic sprite melons

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

UNSPSC 50354651 Frozen organic sprite melons is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen and fresh produce under this code as part of their broader food service operations, particularly for school nutrition programs supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. While the code name specifies a single product category, recent solicitations reveal that school districts and municipalities buy frozen produce alongside fresh fruits, vegetables, and comprehensive grocery items in integrated food procurement. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education at the district level, supplemented by municipal purchasing departments and county school systems. School nutrition programs appear to be the primary driver of activity under this code, with procurement officers aggregating frozen and fresh produce bids either in standalone solicitations or combined with broader grocery and food service contracts.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity across Georgia and Connecticut. The Bridgeport Board of Education issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (including frozen products) with a due date of June 30, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026, spanning 200+ line items. The City Schools of Decatur, Georgia issued an IFB on April 16, 2026 for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, and the Douglas County School System in Georgia procured fresh produce and eggs through a GEC Buying Cooperative RFP with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with an estimated annual value of $5.5 million. Additional activity appears in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, April 29, 2026 deadline) and in the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia (April 23, 2026 deadline). Most contracts require firm pricing for the full term, delivery Monday through Friday to multiple school sites, compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content), HACCP plans, comprehensive nutritional specifications, and liability insurance of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence.
