About UNSPSC 50524623

UNSPSC 50524623 Non GMO juan canary melons is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities block shows little relevant activity tied to this specific code. The single substantive solicitation tagged to the code—Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition RFB 4162 for petite bananas, posted July 8, 2026 with bids due July 29, 2026—procures bananas, not canary melons or melons of any variety. The remaining fourteen recent opportunities in the block solicit fresh produce broadly for school nutrition programs across multiple states, encompassing dozens of fruit and vegetable line items, but canary melons do not appear as a named line item in any of them. The code designation appears misaligned with the work actually being bought.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate recent produce procurement activity, with solicitations from Douglas County (a cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts), Glynn County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bartow County, Early County, and Madison Metropolitan. These jurisdictions issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for comprehensive fresh produce bundles (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons in general) supporting National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. Contract values range from $78,000 annually (MMSD petite bananas) to $4.4 million (Douglas County Area One cooperative), with most awards on a line-item basis to single or multiple vendors and renewal options spanning three to five years. The code shows no distinct recent procurement activity for non-GMO juan canary melons specifically.
