UNSPSC 50314640: Organic piel de sapo melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic piel de sapo melons

UNSPSC 50314640 Organic piel de sapo melons is a Commodity code that describes fresh specialty melon varieties for institutional food service, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows little recent relevance. The recent solicitations tagging this code do not target organic piel de sapo melons; instead, school districts across multiple states are soliciting general fresh produce contracts that encompass broad fruit and vegetable categories—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and standard melon varieties—supplied to school nutrition programs and child feeding initiatives. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan in Wisconsin; Hancock County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; McAllen and Austin independents in Texas; Douglas County in Georgia through the GEC cooperative) and one state agency (State of Georgia), with school nutrition program procurement dominating the activity. The code's nominal scope—a single organic specialty melon type—does not align with the breadth of fresh produce procurement state and local bodies are actually executing.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, which accounts for the plurality of recent solicitations (Hancock County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County cooperative procurements), with secondary activity in Texas (Austin and McAllen independent school districts), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and a statewide Georgia procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (bids due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of standard produce varieties across multiple locations, and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. These solicitations consistently emphasize broad commodity sourcing, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and cost-based evaluation rather than procurement of a single organic specialty item.
