UNSPSC 50324626: Dried kakhi/kakri melons

The variety of melons known as kakhi/kakri melons that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324626 Dried kakhi/kakri melons, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with state and local school and institutional food procurement. The code nominally names a specific dried melon product, yet the recent solicitations using this code tag encompass broad fresh and processed grocery categories for school nutrition programs and institutional food services—apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous staples—rather than dried melons specifically. The one procurement explicitly mentioning dried fruit (Santa Clara County's Dried Fruits and Nuts solicitation in January 2026) names raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, but does not reference kakhi or kakri melons. School nutrition programs and detention facilities dominate the issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia school districts (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), a Missouri school district (Rockwood R-VI), a Virginia school district (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas corrections (TDCJ), Connecticut municipalities (City of Bridgeport), and California corrections (Santa Clara County).

Geographic spread centers on the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with notable activity in Texas, Missouri, Virginia, California, and Connecticut. The most recent and representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items across multiple produce families with three-location delivery; Liberty County Board of Education's food products IFB (posted March 30, 2026, due April 29, 2026) covering over 400 items with strict Buy American and nutritional standards; and Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts ITB (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) for five line items on an all-or-none basis to support corrections food services. This code shows little material recent activity for dried kakhi or kakri melons as a discrete product category; the tagging appears to be a classification mismatch rather than evidence of active procurement demand in state and local markets.
