UNSPSC 50304612: Crimson sweet melons

The variety of melons known as crimson sweet melons

UNSPSC 50304612 Crimson sweet melons is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure melons as a discrete line item within broader fresh produce and food service contracts, typically for school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and detention facilities. Recent solicitations show melons appearing as one produce category among dozens in comprehensive food bids rather than as standalone commodity procurements; the code captures individual melon varieties within institutional meal programs serving students, senior center participants, and incarcerated individuals. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with additional activity from municipal and county child care programs and detention systems. School nutrition procurement is heavily concentrated in Georgia, with active solicitations from Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Liberty County, and Bulloch County school systems; Texas activity includes McAllen ISD and Austin ISD; Florida includes Hillsborough County Public Schools. A City of Edinburg, Texas child nutrition program (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026) solicits food items including fruits and vegetables for CACFP meal service to approximately 400 children daily; evaluation weighs cost at 30 percent and menu quality at 20 percent. Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 (due April 14, 2026) names melons explicitly among 60 fresh produce line items for 16 school sites, with weekly delivery required and pricing remaining firm for 90 days post-award. Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for purchase and distribution of food products (due April 29, 2026) includes melons among comprehensive produce offerings for 13 school sites on annual fixed-price contract with prospective price redetermination in January. The code shows no recent activity tagged exclusively to crimson sweet melons; procurement opportunities consistently treat melons as one component of institutional fresh produce supply rather than as a standalone commodity line.
