UNSPSC 50304613: Dixie lee melons

The variety of melons known as dixie lee melons

UNSPSC 50304613 Dixie lee melons is a Commodity code that sits far outside the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tracked in the source. None of the 28 posted opportunities between January and July 2026 reference Dixie lee melons or any melon products by varietal name; the source records school nutrition programs, child care food services, senior centers, and correctional facilities procuring fresh produce in broad categories—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, melons (unnamed), tomatoes, and related items—across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. The code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under fresh produce solicitations, which collapse varietal specificity into line-item bidding on mixed-produce contracts. The mismatch signals that either the code was applied in error to a generic melon procurement, or the code itself targets a specialty market segment that does not appear in recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Savannah-Chatham County, Madison Metropolitan, Muscogee County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and dozens of others), state departments (Georgia), counties (Santa Clara, DeSoto, Glynn, Bryan, Hancock, Early, Liberty, Henry), cities (Bridgeport, Meriden, San Antonio, Edinburg), Head Start and child care networks, and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 (72 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, cost weighted at 40% in evaluation); Hillsborough County Public Schools' FFVP produce RFP 26039RFPDST due March 11, 2026 (pre-cut specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools, $600,000 estimated budget, cost-plus fixed fee per case); and the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts due March 4, 2026 (estimated $5.5 million annual spend, cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing). The code shows no relevant recent activity and merits a skip unless the prospect has reason to believe their product (Dixie lee melons by varietal name) is being specifically requested in a solicitation not yet in the source dataset.
