UNSPSC 50324630: Dried mayan melons

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

UNSPSC 50324630 Dried mayan melons is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code focuses narrowly on dried melons as a line item within broader school nutrition and institutional food service contracts, rather than as a standalone category of procurement. The recent opportunities show dried melons appearing as one item among hundreds in comprehensive fresh and dried produce solicitations issued by school districts, county corrections facilities, and state departments. The work being solicited is supply and delivery of dried melon products—typically dried cantaloupes, honeydew, or related species—to institutional kitchens and nutrition programs. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all recently posting fresh and dried produce solicitations that reference melons as component line items. The code shows no standalone or melon-focused procurement activity; dried melons are bundled within multi-hundred-line-item produce and grocery contracts rather than solicited as a distinct commodity.

Geographic spread concentrates heavily in Georgia and Virginia, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California. Hancock County Schools posted an IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) listing melons among over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty fruits; delivery flows to three school sites with a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term. Liberty County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for food products (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 400 items including fresh and frozen produce, with melon references scattered across the detailed specification list. Douglas County School System leveraged the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts across two Georgia regions, with an estimated spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The County of Santa Clara issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) covering dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for a correctional facility, indicating that dried fruit procurement does occur at the county level but no source document directly names dried melons as the primary commodity. No standalone dried melon solicitations appear in the recent opportunities; the commodity remains a minor line item within institution-wide produce and grocery contracts.
