UNSPSC 50314610: Organic charleston gray watermelon

The variety of organic melons known as organic charleston gray watermelon

UNSPSC 50314610 Organic charleston gray watermelon is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single produce item, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity tagged directly to this code. The recent opportunities block contains no fresh watermelon procurement; instead, the seventeen recent school nutrition solicitations name watermelons only once, as a single line item within broader fresh produce buys (the Bulloch County School District IFP lists watermelons at $3.58 each among 24 produce items for farm-to-school sourcing). School districts, county boards of education, and independent school districts dominate the issuing bodies across the code's nominal scope—entities managing child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Watermelons and other fresh produce are procured as components of annual school nutrition contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases; the work actually being bought under related codes includes full-service fresh produce supply encompassing dozens of line items, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, HACCP plans, traceability documentation, and compliance with Buy American provisions and whole-grain or nutritional standards.

Georgia school districts (Glynn County Board of Education, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and others) and school systems in Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida drive recent activity in the fresh-produce family. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB (posted June 10, 2026, bids due June 26, 2026) for over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items delivered to three school sites from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and the Bulloch County School District IFP (posted April 3, 2026, proposals due May 4, 2026) seeking fresh locally-grown produce within 200 miles for its farm-to-school program, which explicitly lists watermelons among 24 produce items. The Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, proposals due March 4, 2026) covers approximately 72 produce line items for 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. This code shows little specific standalone activity; watermelon demand is embedded within institution-wide fresh produce contracts where price, delivery logistics, quality standards, and vendor qualifications dominate procurement decisions.
