UNSPSC 50324613: Dried dixie lee melons

The variety of melons known as dixie lee melons that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324613 Dried dixie lee melons is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity captured under it in state and local records. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried dixie lee melons; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve fresh produce, grocery staples, dried fruits and nuts, eggs, and comprehensive food-service distribution across school districts, correctional facilities, and state procurement programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a data classification error or that the code is no longer an accurate descriptor of current buying activity. State and local food-service procurement is dominated by school nutrition programs — Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia all posted fresh-produce or comprehensive grocery solicitations in early 2026 — along with correctional and detention facilities. Issuing bodies span county school boards, independent school districts, state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia state procurement), and county-level correctional operations.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement), Texas (TDCJ statewide), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 produce line items with delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's June 26, 2026 IFB for commodities to supply school nutrition centers under Buy American provisions; and Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) due February 5, 2026, supplying a detention facility on an all-or-none basis. Bidders face consistent requirements: Buy American or domestic-content minimums (typically 51 percent for processed products), firm fixed pricing for contract terms, F.O.B. destination delivery with freight prepaid, USDA compliance and food-safety certifications (HACCP plans, grade certificates, E-Verify authorization), commercial general liability insurance of $1 million or greater, and sealed-bid or electronic portal submission. The code shows no recent activity that matches its stated commodity — dried dixie lee melons — indicating it may warrant reclassification or removal from active use in state and local procurement tracking.
