UNSPSC 50544643: Frozen non GMO red goblin melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO red goblin melons that have been frozen for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50544643 Frozen non-GMO red goblin melons, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity present in the source. Recent school nutrition and food-service solicitations tagging this code are procuring broad grocery, produce, and food-service items—not specialty frozen melon products. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for grocery items encompassing over 1,100 line items (breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats), Hancock County Schools' fresh produce RFP spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and leafy greens, and the City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB reflect the actual scope of work being bought. The code shows minimal activity tailored to frozen non-GMO red goblin melons specifically; instead, the source documents general agricultural commodity procurement by school districts and municipal food-service operations.

Recent opportunities originate from school districts and municipal purchasing offices across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026 (response due the same date) for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce across the 2026-27 school year. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items via NUTRIKIDS electronic submission with responses due April 29, 2026. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 on February 4, 2026 (proposals due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in a cooperative buying arrangement, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All recent opportunities require Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic content), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to school sites Monday through Friday. The code exhibits no material specialization in frozen non-GMO red goblin melons as a discrete procurement line.
