UNSPSC 50324634: Dried ogen melons

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

UNSPSC 50324634 Dried ogen melons, a Commodity code, covers whole or processed dried melon products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried melons as components of broader fresh and processed produce contracts for cafeteria operations, though the code itself represents a narrow product line within larger food-commodity portfolios. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or related to this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (State of Georgia), and state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with produce procured on annual cycles tied to the school year and delivered to multiple school sites.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, where recent IFB and solicitation activity has posted since May 2026. The Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) is a representative opportunity; it encompasses over 200 line items of fresh produce including melons, with delivery to three school locations and a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport commodities IFB (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) and the State of Georgia food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) are broader food-procurement vehicles that may include dried melon products as line items. Both school-based opportunities enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. The code shows limited standalone activity; dried ogen melons appear as line items within multi-category produce or food-supply contracts rather than as dedicated solicitations.
