UNSPSC 50354658: Frozen organic temptation melons

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

UNSPSC 50354658 Frozen organic temptation melons is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, sees limited direct procurement activity under this specific product specification. The code nominally describes a specialized frozen melon product, but the recent opportunities posted under it center on broad school nutrition procurement spanning hundreds of line items across multiple frozen and fresh produce categories, dairy, proteins, grains, and related food service items. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education, along with municipal school systems and county school systems serving the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. These issuing bodies purchase comprehensive grocery and produce supplies rather than melons as a discrete commodity. Issuing bodies include the 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), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and the State of Georgia. The procurement mix reflects a focus on food service suppliers capable of managing large-scale, multi-item contracts with strict compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food recall accessibility, and whole-grain nutrition standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with multiple school districts issuing RFPs and IFBs in early 2026. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program, with electronic bids submitted through OpenGov; Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items under contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and the Douglas County School System's February 18, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The Douglas County School System also posted an RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services with approximately $9,000,000 estimated annual expenditure serving 25,500 students across 32 schools, due February 18, 2026. All recent opportunities require firm fixed pricing including transportation, compliance with federal nutrition standards, and maintenance of significant liability insurance ($1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence). The code shows active procurement momentum but is driven by broad-based school nutrition supply contracts rather than frozen melon as a standalone item.
