UNSPSC 50314614: Organic eclipse melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic eclipse melons

UNSPSC 50314614 Organic eclipse melons (Commodity) does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The sourced opportunities are for fresh produce supply to school nutrition programs — bananas, apples, berries, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and broad commodity produce categories — with no mentions of organic eclipse melons or any specialty melon varieties. School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin are the dominant issuing bodies, soliciting through RFP, RFB, and IFB notices for annual or multi-year contracts to supply 13 to 60 school sites. The code appears to be a mislabeling or administrative artifact rather than a signal of actual market activity for the specific commodity it nominally describes.

The recent opportunity set shows concentrated activity among Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County School System via GEC cooperative) plus independent school districts in Texas (McAllen, Austin) and Florida (Hillsborough County). Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin and the State of Georgia also posted solicitations. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and citrus with a July 1, 2026 contract start and bids due June 26, 2026; Bulloch County School District RFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles, with proposals due May 4, 2026 and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Douglas County School System RFP for produce and eggs serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. If the intended commodity is fresh produce generally rather than organic eclipse melons specifically, this code sees substantial school nutrition activity with consistent demand for weekly or regular delivery, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and pricing tied to USDA market indices.
