UNSPSC 50314661: Organic yellow baby watermelon

The variety of organic melons known as organic yellow baby watermelon

UNSPSC 50314661 Organic yellow baby watermelon (Commodity) shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single specialty produce item, but the recent solicitations tagged under this code predominantly solicit broad fresh produce portfolios for school nutrition programs—ranging from 60 to 400+ line items per procurement spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and other staples—rather than organic yellow baby watermelons specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, 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 in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, and Douglas County School System serving a 30-district cooperative in Georgia. These jurisdictions use RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs to award annual or multi-year contracts for produce delivery to school nutrition programs supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and child nutrition initiatives.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 (estimated annual value $78,000 for weekly deliveries of 70–90 cases); Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items due June 26, 2026; Bulloch County School District IFP for locally-grown produce (24 items, 200-mile sourcing requirement) due May 4, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages due March 11, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (March 4, 2026 deadline). Procurement patterns emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, traceability documentation, weekly delivery schedules, and increasingly local or regional sourcing preferences. The code as currently applied does not meaningfully distinguish organic yellow baby watermelon procurement from commodity-level fresh-produce contracting broadly.
