UNSPSC 50324646: Dried royal star melons

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

UNSPSC 50324646 Dried royal star melons is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract scope — dried royal star melon products — does not align with the solicitations tagged under it in the recent opportunities block. The state and local market for dried melons specifically is not evidenced in current solicitations; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broad fresh produce procurement, multi-category food service supply, and dried-fruit buys (raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans) that fall outside the dried melon category. The Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (ITBPRCFY260617, due February 5, 2026) includes dried cranberries and tropical fruit mix but does not specify dried melons. School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia are actively soliciting fresh produce and broad grocery categories, but no recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB documentation names dried royal star melons as a line item or commodity class.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities—county school systems (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Fairfax County), municipal education procurement (City of Bridgeport), state departments (Georgia, Texas, California), and detention facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice)—overwhelmingly buy fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, and commodity staples rather than specialty dried fruit products. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Texas (TDCJ, statewide procurement), with California representing detention-facility food services. No recent solicitation document explicitly references dried royal star melons as a procurement need, indicating that this commodity code does not currently represent active state and local buying.
