UNSPSC 50324620: Dried honeydew melons

Any of a variety of muskmelon vines having fruit with a smooth white rind and white or greenish flesh that does not have a musky smell that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324620 Dried honeydew melons, a Commodity code, spans dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional-facility food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried fruits as components of broader fresh and processed produce bids, where dried honeydew melons appear alongside other dried fruits and fresh produce within itemized commodity lists. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited individual dried-fruit line items (such as whole pitted dried prunes) under separate IFBs, indicating that correctional facilities source dried fruit products on a line-item basis to supply institutional food service. School boards, state purchasing offices, and corrections departments issue the bulk of recent activity under this code tier, with issuing bodies ranging from small county school districts to statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of larger institutional networks.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut based on recent postings. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple commodities with a June 26, 2026 response date; the State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations across Texas, with response extended to May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ procurement (IFB IW236532) solicited whole pitted dried prunes for a Corpus Christi location with a response date of February 20, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for commodities to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. All solicitations include Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content compliance and specify firm-fixed pricing for the contract term, with payment within 30–45 days of receipt and inspection.
