UNSPSC 50304634: Ogen melons

The variety of melons known as ogen melons

UNSPSC 50304634 Ogen melons is a Commodity code covering fresh melon procurement by state and local food service operations, particularly institutional kitchens serving corrections, mental health facilities, school districts, and senior centers. The recent activity shows procurement focused on fresh produce supply and delivery as part of broader food-service contracts rather than single-commodity melon sourcing; the code appears tagged on multi-item fresh produce solicitations where melons are one line item among dozens of fruits and vegetables. State and local bodies issuing under this code span Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) food warehouse operations, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health facilities, school districts across Georgia and Wisconsin, county boards of education, municipal food services, and Head Start and senior center operations.

Recent solicitations center in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Connecticut. TDCJ has posted three produce-supply RFQs since late September 2026—fresh fruit and vegetable deliveries to Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267411, due October 14, 2026), Snyder Food Warehouse (IW267420, due October 14, 2026), and Palestine facility (IW267376, due October 19, 2026)—with responses submitted via Bonfire portal; Illinois Department of Corrections requested fresh produce quotes for Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, small-business set-aside, due September 3, 2026); and school districts dominate the geographic spread with Madison Metropolitan School District bidding separately for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, Wisconsin-sourced with 5% diverse-vendor preference). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), DeSoto County School District (Mississippi), Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia), Bryan County Schools (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) all posted fresh-produce IFBs or RFPs between May and June 2026 with delivery to school nutrition sites and contract terms running through June 30, 2027. No recent opportunities identify melon procurement as the primary solicitation focus; melon supply appears incidental to institutional fresh-produce contracts.
