UNSPSC 50314604: Organic cal sweet melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic cal sweet melons

UNSPSC 50314604 Organic cal sweet melons (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen solicitations, all of which are school nutrition program requests for mixed fresh produce, eggs, and beverages — not organic melons specifically. The Madison Metropolitan School District solicitation for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) exemplify the actual scope: school districts are buying comprehensive produce portfolios spanning apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, and other staples in bulk case quantities for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. The code designation appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error; no posted opportunity specifically solicits organic melons as a line item or primary commodity.

School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing bodies across all sixteen recent opportunities, with Georgia jurisdictions — including Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County — appearing most frequently, alongside Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). Representative recent procurements include Liberty County Board of Education IFB for food products and produce (IFB PE68910NONST2026000000049 and IFB PE68910NONST2026000000050, due April 29, 2026), Bulloch County School District RFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (IFP PE55612NONST2027000000031, due May 4, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026). All solicitations require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, firm fixed pricing, weekly or multi-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites, and compliance with federal food safety and civil rights certifications. Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school systems, with mixed-commodity produce procurement — not organic melons alone — representing the actual market signal under this code.
