UNSPSC 50314619: Organic hami melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic hami melons

UNSPSC 50314619 Organic hami melons is a Commodity code that classifies fresh specialty melon procurement by state and local school nutrition programs. Recent activity shows minimal direct solicitation under this specific code; the available opportunities instead cover broad fresh produce categories spanning multiple fruit and vegetable line items. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including melons (due June 26, 2026) demonstrate that state and local buying agencies solicit melons as part of comprehensive produce contracts rather than as standalone commodity procurements. The mix of issuing bodies includes school nutrition programs across district and county school systems, supported by federal National School Lunch Program and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. These jurisdictions emphasize domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, product traceability, and quality standards aligned with USDA specifications. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional procurement in Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools).

Representative recent opportunities show melons embedded within larger produce contracts rather than procured in isolation. The Bulloch County School District IFP (due May 4, 2026) for its Farm to School program solicits 24 produce items including watermelons sourced within 200 miles of Bulloch County; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB (due June 26, 2026) specifies multiple melon varieties among over 200 line items; and the Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 (due April 14, 2026) covers approximately 60 produce line items delivered once weekly to 16 school locations. Liberty County Board of Education's concurrent IFBs for produce and food products (both due April 29, 2026) reflect demand patterns typical of full-year school nutrition supply chains where melon availability varies seasonally. Contract values range from $78,000 annually (Madison petite bananas) to $4.4 million estimated spending (Douglas County GEC cooperative for 30 districts across two areas). Award structures typically favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item basis with options for single or multiple vendor selection, and contracts include renewal terms spanning three to five additional one-year periods contingent on performance and available funding.
