UNSPSC 50324642: Dried quetzali melons

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

UNSPSC 50324642 Dried quetzali melons is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a single dried-fruit product line, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show minimal activity specifically targeting dried melons. The five recent solicitations spanning May through June 2026 encompass broad produce and food-service procurement — fresh produce for schools, general commodities for nutrition centers, kitchen products for state agencies, cafeteria food products for correctional facilities, and dried prunes for a correctional kitchen — but only the Hancock County Schools solicitation explicitly names melons as one item among over 200 line items of fresh produce (not dried). The code shows little relevant recent activity at the Commodity level; the opportunities reflect institutional food-service purchasing under much broader scope than a single dried-fruit product.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), state departments (State of Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and correctional agencies. The geographic spread covers Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Schools Nutrition fresh-produce IFB due June 26, 2026, spanning multiple fresh vegetables and fruits with delivery to three school sites, and the Texas TDCJ cafeteria-food-products IFB originally due April 21, 2026 (extended via addendum to May 4, 2026), encompassing approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables for multiple warehouse locations. The code as currently tagged does not align cleanly with the solicitations actually being posted; pursuit should verify whether dried-melon procurement appears under different codes or whether this Commodity code is being misapplied by issuing bodies.
