UNSPSC 50354654: Frozen organic sugar baby melons

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

UNSPSC 50354654 Frozen organic sugar baby melons is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of frozen organic sugar baby melons specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food procurement by school districts and county governments — including fresh produce, shelf-stable pantry staples, dairy, proteins, and kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs and senior services. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state agencies (State of Georgia). The code appears to be used as a general food-procurement catch-all rather than a targeted commodity classification; there is a material mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited.

Recent opportunities center on the school nutrition program cycle. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items for the 2026-27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid encompassing meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies with bids due June 8, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, with quotes due October 19, 2026. Bridgeport Board of Education posted an electronic bid for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, with submissions due June 30, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP and E-Verify certification, domestic sourcing where possible, and pricing firm throughout the contract term — typically July 1 through June 30 aligned to the school fiscal year. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia (four of five recent opportunities) with one Connecticut school district.
