UNSPSC 50314647: Organic royal sweet melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic royal sweet melons

UNSPSC 50314647 Organic royal sweet melons is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition and child feeding programs. The recent opportunities in this code show school districts sourcing fresh produce — including melons and other fruits and vegetables — for National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program service. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education; the mix includes independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, McAllen, Austin, Hillsborough County), county boards of education (Hancock, Bartow, Early, Liberty, Glynn, Bulloch, Muscogee, Douglas, Savannah-Chatham), state purchasing offices (Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). Most school districts issue annual contracts for fresh produce covering 50 to 200+ line items spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories, with individual melon line items typically appearing as one element in broader produce portfolios rather than standalone solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with recent solicitations from Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, and the State of Georgia itself. Texas school districts (McAllen, Austin) and Florida (Hillsborough County) also posted recently. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (melons among them) due June 26, 2026, with July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; Bulloch County School District RFP for local produce including watermelons grown within 200 miles due May 4, 2026, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Liberty County Board of Education IFB for produce and food products due April 29, 2026, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Douglas County School System RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce across 30 cooperating districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Most school district contracts feature annual fixed pricing, weekly delivery requirements, HACCP and food safety documentation, Buy American provisions, and renewal options spanning three to five years.
