UNSPSC 50314645: Organic royal majestic melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic royal majestic melons

UNSPSC 50314645 Organic royal majestic melons is a Commodity code, and state and local governments buy fresh produce—primarily through school nutrition programs and food service operations—under this taxonomy entry. Recent solicitations reveal a pattern of school districts and county boards of education procuring fresh fruits and vegetables for child nutrition programs, though notably the code's nominal scope (organic royal majestic melons specifically) does not align with the broader fresh-produce categories actually appearing in recent RFPs and IFBs. The school nutrition market dominates activity: Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, 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, and Austin Independent School District have all posted opportunities in the past four months. These buyers are soliciting comprehensive produce line items—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, onions, citrus fruits, potatoes, and eggs—in the context of the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Specifications consistently emphasize HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions (domestic agricultural content at 51% minimum for processed items), weekly or multi-week delivery schedules to multiple school sites, and adherence to whole-grain-rich and nutritional standards. Insurance requirements are standard across jurisdictions, with general liability coverage typically mandated at $1 million per occurrence.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and the Douglas County cooperative serving 30 districts statewide), with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District, RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026; and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison, due July 29, 2026), Texas (McAllen Independent School District RFP 2026-1029, proposals due March 6, 2026; and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034, proposals due March 11, 2026), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery, proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000). The Douglas County cooperative RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) aggregates demand across 30 districts and carries estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Notice types vary—RFBs and RFPs predominate for school districts seeking multiple-vendor awards on line-item basis, while IFBs appear in Georgia jurisdictions. Response dates cluster in late March and early April 2026 for spring solicitations, with July 2026 deadlines for fall-season contracts commencing September 1. The code shows no recent organic royal majestic melon–specific opportunities; current procurement activity targets mainstream fresh-produce categories required by institutional food service operations serving K–12 and pre-K populations.
