UNSPSC 50314656: Organic sunsweet melons

The variety of organic melons known as organic sunsweet melons

UNSPSC 50314656 Organic sunsweet melons is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily through school nutrition programs, though recent solicitation activity under this code does not align closely with the melon-specific scope. School districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida are actively procuring fresh produce for child nutrition programs, but the posted opportunities show no solicitations explicitly targeting organic sunsweet melons as a standalone commodity line item. Instead, melons appear as one item among 60 to 72 fresh produce line items in broader produce contracts issued by school nutrition departments and districts including 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 Douglas County School System (through the GEC Buying Cooperative). These solicitations typically include melons as part of comprehensive fresh produce bundles purchased for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program service, along with apples, bananas, berries, carrots, peppers, and other produce staples, rather than organic sunsweet melons as a differentiated product category.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Hancock, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, and Glynn Counties), with additional recent solicitation from Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Texas (McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with bids due June 26, 2026, Bulloch County School District's RFP for 24 locally-grown produce items due May 4, 2026, and the Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 72 produce line items with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity specifically targeting organic or sunsweet melon varieties as distinct commodities—melons are subsumed within multi-item produce tenders where pricing and sourcing are determined competitively on a line-item basis against USDA market reports and domestic sourcing preferences, making individual commodity-level pursuit under this code unlikely to yield direct opportunity capture absent explicit organic melon solicitations.
