UNSPSC 50304636: Peacock melons

The variety of melons known as peacock melons

UNSPSC 50304636 Peacock melons is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local governments in recent opportunities. The source contains no relevant recent state and local procurement activity for peacock melons; instead, the opportunities shown are for comprehensive fresh produce procurement, fresh fruit and vegetable programs, grocery items, dried fruits and nuts, and school nutrition food service contracts spanning produce categories such as apples, bananas, berries, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, and specialty items. The single opportunity nominally tagged with a melon-related code (Hancock County Board of Education's request for fresh produce including melons, posted June 10, 2026) lists melons only as one item among 200+ line items and includes no pricing, quantity, or emphasis on melons specifically. No recent solicitations focus on peacock melons as a distinct procurement category, and the code shows no meaningful activity in state and local contracting.

School districts, county boards of education, and municipal child care programs across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon are actively procuring fresh produce through RFPs, RFBs, and ITBs to support school nutrition programs, CACFP meal services, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program procurement (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) for beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items; Madison Metropolitan School District's fresh produce contracts (RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026); and the GEC Buying Cooperative's Georgia school produce procurement (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million). These jurisdictions consistently emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery to multiple school sites or child care centers. The activity is fragmented across state and local buying bodies with no concentration among repeat issuers—each school district and municipal agency conducts its own solicitations—and geographic spread covers Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and California, with the heaviest recent volume in Georgia school districts.
