UNSPSC 50324625: Dried jubilation melons

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

UNSPSC 50324625 Dried jubilation melons, a Commodity code, encompasses dried melon products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and departments of criminal justice that purchase food supplies for institutional cafeterias and nutrition centers. The recent opportunities show school nutrition programs integrating dried melons into broader fresh and processed produce specifications alongside other fruits, vegetables, and specialty items as part of comprehensive food service contracts. These solicitations emphasize compliance with the Buy American Provision (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed products), USDA grading standards, HACCP protocols, and firm fixed pricing for contract duration.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including melons, with bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school sites from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended response date May 4, 2026) across five Texas geographic areas with delivery to six distribution points and contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. A separate TDCJ solicitation (Bid No. IW236532) specifically targeted dried prunes in February 2026, signaling state correctional systems' procurement of dried fruit products. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in school nutrition and corrections procurement within the South and South-Central regions, with no significant activity evident outside these jurisdictions in the available records.
