UNSPSC 50304624: Jubilee melons

The variety of melons known as jubilee melons

UNSPSC 50304624 Jubilee melons is a Commodity code representing a single fresh produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little direct relevance to melon supply — the records instead document a broad range of fresh produce, grocery, and food service procurement activity spanning school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and institutional food operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and multiple other Georgia county school systems, alongside child care and nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg CACFP, Hillsborough County Public Schools FFVP), correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff), and city senior services (San Antonio). The geographic spread concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, and the broader South and Southwest, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California; Georgia alone accounts for roughly one-third of the recent records.

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026), which bundles food and nonfood supplies across five categories for 400 children daily; Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas procurement (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated $78,000 annual value); Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery contract (RFP 26039RFPDST, estimated $600,000 annually); and the GEC Buying Cooperative fresh produce and eggs RFP serving 30 Georgia school districts (SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million across both geographic areas July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027). These solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing preferences where cost and quality permit, weekly or bi-weekly delivery, and firm fixed pricing with limited escalation clauses tied to published market indices. The code shows no recent direct demand signal for Jubilee melons specifically; melon references appear only incidentally within broader fresh produce line-item lists (cantaloupe, watermelon) in school nutrition and correctional facility food service contexts, suggesting the commodity code sits at a hyperspecific level that may not reflect actual procurement segmentation at the state and local level.
