UNSPSC 50304656: Sunsweet melons

The variety of melons known as sunsweet melons

UNSPSC 50304656 Sunsweet melons, a Commodity code, does not map to active state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains twenty-five solicitations spanning July 2026 back to January 2026, but none involve sunsweet melons or even melons as a primary procurement focus. The only mention of melons appears in three contexts: the Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program produce (which lists melons among multiple produce varieties); the Bulloch County School District RFP for locally grown produce (which specifies watermelons as one item among twenty-four); and the Liberty County Board of Education IFB (which names melons in a broader produce category). These references treat melons as minor line items within comprehensive fresh produce contracts, not as a dedicated commodity procurement. The overwhelming majority of activity under the recent opportunities—spanning school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and institutional food service—involves mixed fresh produce, complete grocery items, or produce categories that do not isolate sunsweet melons as a distinct purchasing focus.

State and local procurement under this code is dominated by school districts and school nutrition authorities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and Mississippi, with secondary activity from county offices, city departments, and cooperative purchasing consortia. Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026), the Bartow County School System RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026), the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving thirty Georgia school districts (due March 4, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara ITB for dried fruits and nuts to Elmwood Correctional Facility (due February 5, 2026). The activity is geographically concentrated in the Southeast—Georgia and Texas dominate the recent posting volume—with secondary representation from the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and California. No recent solicitations target sunsweet melons as a named line item or contract focus; the code appears inactive or severely underutilized in current state and local procurement.
