UNSPSC 50324645: Dried royal majestic melons

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

UNSPSC 50324645 Dried royal majestic melons, a Commodity code, covers dried melon products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying fresh and processed produce under this taxonomy, though the recent opportunities block contains limited activity specifically targeting dried melons; instead, the code appears in broader fresh-produce and food-commodity RFPs where melons are line items alongside apples, berries, citrus, and root vegetables. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce under code PE67080NONST2027000000013 (due June 26, 2026) that itemizes melons among over 200 produce line items for the 2026–27 school year, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued a commodities RFP (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) that includes fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has also been active, posting an IFB for cafeteria food products (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covering proteins, grains, and produce staples across six warehouse distribution points. School districts and state corrections departments dominate the recent issuing-body mix.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with state-level procurement (Georgia's solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, and TDCJ's multiple food RFPs) representing a significant share alongside school district solicitations. All recent opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products, HACCP or USDA compliance certifications, and firm fixed pricing with freight prepaid to designated delivery locations. Response dates have concentrated in May and June 2026. The code itself shows modest recent solicitation activity; no standalone dried-melon RFPs appear in the block, and dried melons appear to compete as a line item within broader produce and food-commodity competitions where fresh produce commands primary focus.
