UNSPSC 50314618: Organic gaya melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic gaya melons

UNSPSC 50314618 Organic gaya melons is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a mismatch: the code nominally describes a single produce item (organic gaya melons), but the posted solicitations are actually requesting comprehensive fresh produce procurement — including bananas, apples, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, berries, eggs, and dozens of other items — for school nutrition programs. None of the recent opportunities explicitly specify gaya melons or focus on organic produce as a defining scope element. School districts and their cooperative purchasing vehicles dominate the issuing-body mix: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia cooperating through GEC Buying Cooperative), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia).

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, due July 29, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million (proposals due March 4, 2026), Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 for approximately 60 produce line items with contract period August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027 (bids due April 27, 2026), and Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for fresh produce across 16 school locations with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (bids due April 14, 2026). Most opportunities use IFB or RFP notice types; Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, delivery schedules (typically Monday–Friday morning windows), and firm pricing are standard requirements. Award typically flows to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with many districts reserving the right to split awards across multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
