UNSPSC 50324630: Dried mayan melons

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

UNSPSC 50324630 Dried mayan melons, a Commodity code, covers dried melon products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies for institutional food service. The recent opportunities block shows state and local governments buying dried melons—along with fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and other food staples—as part of broad institutional nutrition procurement. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state food-supply programs (State of Georgia). The scope of work in representative recent solicitations spans multiyear food-service contracts delivering to cafeteria and nutrition centers, with sealed-bid IFBs requiring USDA grade compliance, HACCP plans or equivalent food-safety certifications, firm fixed pricing across contract terms, and FOB destination delivery to multiple institutional sites.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a due date of June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh produce and melons for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a commodities bid (BNB053266) due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items serving the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center and requiring MBE/CBE certifications under city ordinance. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 food-service line items across five Texas distribution areas, and a separate bid (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes in February 2026. All school and state nutrition contracts enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products and mandate firm fixed pricing through contract periods running 12 to 36 months. The code shows no recent activity outside these institutional food-service contexts; the scope is narrow and repeat buyers are concentrated in education and corrections sectors where annual nutrition contracts drive consistent procurement cycles.
