UNSPSC 50314653: Organic stars n stripes melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic stars n stripes melons

UNSPSC 50314653 Organic stars n stripes melons (Commodity) is a narrow food-service input that state and local school districts buy when building produce supply contracts, though recent solicitations show the code underutilizes its specificity—the opportunities posted under it span fresh bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and broad commodity produce categories rather than the organic specialty melons the code nominally names. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside one state-level procurement (Georgia Department of Procurement). These jurisdictions solicit annually or multi-year contracts to support the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. A Georgia cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative through Douglas County) appears once and spans 30 school districts across two geographic areas.

Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County cooperative), with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Texas (McAllen and Austin independent school districts). Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with 70–90 cases weekly estimated annual value of $78,000 (September 1, 2026–June 30, 2027); Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027); Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two due March 4, 2026 (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027); and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to 18 elementary schools due March 11, 2026, with estimated annual budget of $600,000 (September 1, 2026–May 1, 2027).
