UNSPSC 50304640: Piel de sapo melons

The variety of melons known as piel de sapo melons

UNSPSC 50304640 Piel de sapo melons, a Commodity code, sits within a broader market where state and local governments procure fresh produce — most commonly through school districts, corrections departments, mental health facilities, and senior services — but the recent opportunities block shows virtually no activity specifically for piel de sapo melons. Instead, solicitations under this code family reflect generic fresh fruit and vegetable procurement: school nutrition programs bid for mixed fresh produce, detention facilities request produce supply contracts, and municipalities support child nutrition and senior services programs through broad food service RFPs and ITNs that span multiple produce categories without isolating individual melon varieties.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Early County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education), state corrections and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), and municipalities supporting child and senior nutrition (City of Edinburg, City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport, Collier County). Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice fresh fruit and vegetables solicitation (IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and the Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas RFB (RFB 4162, July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000). However, none of the posted solicitations explicitly names piel de sapo melons as a line item; the code appears dormant at the commodity level, with actual purchasing aggregated under broader fresh produce categories in school lunch, correctional food service, and public health nutrition contracts. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district produce RFBs and institutional food service solicitations for opportunities to bid on mixed melon assortments that may include the piel de sapo variety.
