UNSPSC 50304607: Casaba melons

The variety of melons known as casaba melons

UNSPSC 50304607 Casaba melons is a Commodity code that does not show relevant recent activity. The source contains 26 recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code, but none concern casaba melons; instead, they solicit fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries, peppers, and dozens of other items), whole groceries for school nutrition and child care programs, dried fruits and nuts, and beverages. The City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program, Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana RFB, and the Hillsborough County Schools fresh fruit and vegetable program each name specific produce categories in their scopes, and none isolate casaba melons as a line item. Dried fruits and nuts, groceries, and beverages fall outside the code's nominal commodity scope and suggest either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that casaba melons are so rarely procured as standalone items that they are buried in broader vegetable or produce contracts rather than solicited independently.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, California, and Oregon are the dominant issuing bodies, with some activity from city and county purchasing offices on behalf of child care, senior services, and correctional facilities. The geographic spread includes Texas (Edinburg, McAllen, Austin), Wisconsin (Madison), Connecticut (Meriden, Bridgeport), Florida (Tampa/Hillsborough), Georgia (multiple districts including Bulloch, Bryan, Dougherty, Glynn, Henry, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty, and Hancock counties), Oregon (Central Point), Mississippi (DeSoto), California (Santa Clara County), and unidentified Georgia procurement. Activity dates from January through July 2026, concentrated in the school nutrition calendar (bids due February through June for contracts beginning July 1, 2026). No recent opportunity explicitly names casaba melons as a procurable item, and the UNSPSC code assignment does not align with the actual commodities being bought.
