UNSPSC 50324650: Dried spanish melons

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

UNSPSC 50324650 Dried Spanish melons, a Commodity code, covers dried melon products supplied to state and local institutional foodservice operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local governments purchasing under this code acquire dried melons as component ingredients or standalone items for cafeteria meal preparation and distribution. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state departments managing institutional food procurement; recent opportunities show school nutrition centers and state criminal justice agencies as the dominant buyers.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce supplies spanning the 2026–27 school year, due June 26, with over 200 line items including melons alongside other produce; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 2, 2026, for commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, due June 26, covering 115 line items of food products; the State of Georgia posted an IFB on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products, due June 22; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) issued an IFB on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas covering approximately 382 line items, due May 4 (extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products are standard across school nutrition solicitations. The Texas TDCJ procurement spans six distribution points statewide with firm fixed pricing incorporating all shipping and delivery costs, while school district awards may go to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid.
