UNSPSC 50314646: Organic royal star melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic royal star melons

UNSPSC 50314646 Organic royal star melons is a Commodity code representing a single fresh produce line item that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs. However, the code shows little relevant recent activity. The most recent opportunities recorded under this code actually solicit petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and comprehensive produce line items spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories—not organic royal star melons specifically. The discrepancy between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests that either the code is misapplied to broader produce procurement vehicles or that organic royal star melon procurement occurs infrequently enough that it does not appear in the recent solicitation record.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) among the most active recent buyers. Opportunities posted between February and July 2026 reflect sustained demand for fresh produce sourcing, but the solicitations name apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and eggs far more frequently than melons of any variety. When melon procurement does appear—as in the Bulloch County and Liberty County solicitations naming watermelons—it sits within broader fresh-produce RFPs that combine dozens of line items. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (with at least ten recent school district solicitations), Texas (Austin and McAllen ISDs), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), with additional scattered activity in early adopters of farm-to-school and local-sourcing programs. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition program RFPs that bundle multiple produce categories rather than expect standalone organic melon solicitations.
