UNSPSC 50304621: Icebox melons

The variety of melons known as icebox melons

UNSPSC 50304621 Icebox melons (Commodity) does not map to the work state and local governments are actually buying under the recent solicitations tagged with this code. The source shows no active procurement demand for icebox melons specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities reflect broad institutional food service purchasing across school districts, municipal agencies, and social service organizations procuring fresh produce as part of comprehensive meal programs—including fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and specialty items—under codes that span multiple produce categories rather than a single melon variety.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent solicitations suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that icebox melons fall within a broader fresh-produce commodity aggregation that state and local procurement offices use operationally. The recent opportunities cluster in Georgia (Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts), Texas (Edinburg, McAllen, Austin ISDs), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Oregon (Central Point), and California (Santa Clara County), with demand driven by school nutrition programs, child care food programs, senior services, and corrections food service. Solicitation types span sealed IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates from February through August 2026. Without clear recent institutional demand for icebox melons as a line item, this code does not present actionable pursuit opportunity at this time.
