UNSPSC 50324619: Dried hami melons

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

UNSPSC 50324619 Dried hami melons is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried fruit products, though recent opportunities under this code show limited direct activity aligned with the product category itself. School districts, county education boards, and correctional facilities represent the primary buyer base for dried fruit procurement, with solicitations typically bundled into broader fresh produce, grocery, or food service categories rather than solicited as standalone dried melon items. The Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 produce RFP and Santa Clara County's January 2026 dried fruits and nuts ITB illustrate the occasional appearance of dried fruit line items within larger nutrition and food service contracts, where specifications emphasize USDA compliance, food safety certifications (HACCP plans, recall procedures), Buy American domestic-content requirements, and delivery to school sites or correctional facilities on firm fixed pricing with freight prepaid. Issuing bodies across school nutrition programs, county education systems, and corrections departments solicit groceries and produce on annual cycles, typically with July 1 through June 30 fiscal-year contracts and multiple-year renewal options.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Virginia. The Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce spanning July 2026 through June 2027 with a June 26, 2026 due date included melons among over 200 produce line items; the Santa Clara County (California) ITB for dried fruits and nuts posted January 28, 2026, with a February 5, 2026 response deadline, and the Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12 contract posted April 6, 2026, with April 27, 2026 sealed bids are representative. Dried hami melon procurement as a standalone commodity line appears infrequently in available state and local RFPs—most dried fruit activity is embedded within general grocery or produce contracts rather than separately specified. Opportunities in this space require firm pricing for full contract terms, proof of food safety protocols, and E-Verify compliance; vendors should expect Buy American documentation requirements and multi-site or multi-facility delivery obligations.
