UNSPSC 50304631: Micky lee melons

The variety of melons known as micky lee melons

UNSPSC 50304631 Micky lee melons (Commodity) covers fresh melon supply, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and concentrated in institutional food service — primarily correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, and senior services. The solicitations show melon procurement embedded within broader fresh produce and food-service supply contracts rather than as a standalone commodity line. State agencies, county school districts, and municipal authorities are the primary issuing bodies, with institutional dining and child nutrition programs driving demand. Work typically involves bi-weekly or weekly delivery of fresh produce to centralized warehouses or on-site food preparation facilities, compliance with food safety and USDA standards, and integration into meal programs serving populations from children in school lunch programs to incarcerated individuals and seniors.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Florida, with scattered opportunities across Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Mississippi. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine facility, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, and IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse near Huntsville), all due October 2026, with responses submitted via the TDCJ Procurement Portal. The Illinois Department of Corrections solicited fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) under a small-business set-aside with bi-weekly delivery requirements and prevailing wage compliance mandates. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, and DeSoto County) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) have issued multiple RFBs and IFBs for fresh produce spanning July through September 2026 with responses due June through August. The City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services posted an RFP (6100019604) for produce market operations at senior center sites, due May 27, 2026. Institutional buyers emphasize Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content), HACCP certification, 97–98 percent fill rates, temperature-controlled delivery, and insurance coverage ranging from $500,000 to $1 million general liability. Pricing typically follows firm fixed-price, cost-plus-fee, or unit-price models with no fuel surcharges and Net 30–45 payment terms.
