UNSPSC 50314622: Organic ida pride melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic ida pride melons

UNSPSC 50314622 Organic ida pride melons (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity the source documents. The code nominally covers a single specialty melon variety; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for organic ida pride melons specifically. Instead, state and local school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida are actively procuring broad fresh produce portfolios — bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons of multiple varieties, and prepared produce items — to supply school nutrition programs, the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and farm-to-school initiatives. The code's stated scope does not match the actual buying patterns in the recent record.

School districts and county boards of education issue the majority of solicitations under this commodity family, with Georgia agencies (Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, and Early County School Systems) and Wisconsin school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District) posting repeated fresh-produce RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs from February through July 2026. Representative current opportunities include Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two geographic areas (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual value approximately $5.5 million), Liberty County Board of Education IFB for produce and food products across 13 schools (due April 29, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 for fresh produce to 16 schools (due April 14, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas to the Food Production Center (due July 29, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and extends to Wisconsin, Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Bartow County Schools), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). The code shows substantial recent activity, but the sourcing does not track to organic ida pride melons alone—the buying is broad-based fresh produce procurement under school nutrition and child nutrition programs with domestic sourcing preferences and USDA compliance requirements.
