UNSPSC 50314638: Organic persian melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic persian melons

UNSPSC 50314638 Organic persian melons is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas posted July 8, 2026, with bids due July 29, 2026 — involves fresh bananas, not organic Persian melons. The scope mismatch is material: the district's specification sheet calls for standard ripeness stages and size tolerances under the Chiquita banana color guide, with no mention of organic sourcing or melon varieties. The school district solicitation shows typical fresh produce procurement characteristics — weekly delivery to a central food production center, 98 percent fill-rate requirements, HACCP plan submission, and cost weighted at 40 percent in evaluation — but the commodity being procured does not match the code's nominal scope.

Across the recent opportunities block, no issuer has solicited organic Persian melons. The broader fresh produce category does appear regularly in state and local procurement: Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System (via GEC Buying Cooperative) have all posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce bundles in Georgia and Texas. These opportunities typically package melons alongside apples, bananas, carrots, peppers, and leafy greens as commodity bundles rather than as single-item awards. The code as currently designated shows no discrete market signal for organic Persian melon procurement. If your firm pursues this category, tag opportunities under the broader fresh fruit and vegetable codes and monitor school nutrition and institutional foodservice solicitations in Georgia and Texas, where activity concentration is highest.
