UNSPSC 50324617: Dried galia melons

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

UNSPSC 50324617 Dried galia melons is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its narrow scope. The code designates a single dried fruit product — specifically galia melons that have been dried and are ready for consumption or incorporation into prepared foods. Recent solicitations under this code span school nutrition programs and institutional food service, where dried fruits appear as line items within broader produce or commodity buys rather than as standalone procurements. State and local buyers treat dried galia melons as one component among dozens or hundreds of food items in master grocery contracts, produce agreements, and cafeteria supply chains, typically bundled with fresh produce, dried fruits of other varieties, nuts, and prepared foods rather than procured in isolation.

Recent opportunities show school districts and correctional facilities purchasing dried fruits as part of larger food-service contracts. The County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (ITBPRC-FY260617, due February 5, 2026) included dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix alongside nuts for Elmwood Correctional Facility but did not specifically call for dried galia melons. Hancock County Schools in Georgia (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB due June 26, 2026) listed melons among over 200 fresh-produce line items for 2026–27 school meals but did not distinguish dried varieties. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (BID2634, due April 23, 2026) solicited 72 fresh-produce items including fresh apples, bananas, and bulk vegetables but again without specific reference to dried galia melons. No recent solicitation identified in the dataset targets dried galia melons as a primary or named commodity. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that activity concentrates in Georgia and California school districts and county food-service operations, where procurement occurs through multi-item RFPs and IFBs that treat dried fruits as minor line items within much larger categories. The code itself shows no standalone or category-level demand signal in current state and local activity.
