UNSPSC 50324631: Dried micky lee melons

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

UNSPSC 50324631 Dried micky lee melons is a Commodity code representing dried melon products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show school districts and state food service operations purchasing dried melons as part of broader fresh and processed produce portfolios, often bundled with fresh fruits and vegetables for meal programs rather than as standalone specialty items. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both solicited produce that includes melon varieties within comprehensive fresh-produce IFBs; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicits dried fruit products including prunes and other preserved items to supply inmate food service across multiple warehouse locations. Issuing bodies under this code span school districts, state education agencies, and correctional departments, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of recent activity as the primary end users of dried fruit commodities for meal preparation and student nutrition.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. Hancock County Schools Nutrition issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26 response deadline, covering over 200 fresh-produce line items including melons alongside apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, requesting 115 commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with contract term through June 30, 2027.
