UNSPSC 50324637: Dried pepino melons

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

UNSPSC 50324637 Dried pepino melons is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried pepino melons and other dried-fruit items primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food-service operations. The recent opportunities show that dried fruit appears within broader fresh-produce and cafeteria-food solicitations, where school districts and state criminal-justice agencies source dozens or hundreds of food line items at once rather than dried pepino melons in isolation. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city procurement offices acting on behalf of school nutrition centers. These buyers consolidate fruit and vegetable sourcing into single competitive bids covering multiple product categories, with sealed bids or electronic submissions and firm-fixed pricing for contract terms running one to two years.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce including melons across 200+ line items, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school locations from July 2026 through June 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (BNB053266, posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering 115 product line items including fruit and vegetable products with electronic submissions through OpenGov. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content apply across school nutrition solicitations; Texas TDCJ's cafeteria-food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covered approximately 382 food line items across five warehouse locations. No opportunities explicitly named dried pepino melons as a discrete line item or standalone solicitation.
