UNSPSC 50334601: Dried organic allsweet melons

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

UNSPSC 50334601 Dried organic allsweet melons is a Commodity code that names a specific dried fruit product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of dried melons themselves. Instead, the opportunities show school districts and state agencies buying fresh produce across broad assortments — including fresh melons alongside apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus — and other jurisdictions purchasing individual dried fruits or broad food-service commodities that may or may not include this particular product. The issuing bodies are school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state purchasing divisions (Georgia and Texas), and state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts predominate in the visible recent activity, with their produce and food buys driven by National School Lunch Act compliance and Buy American requirements mandating minimum domestic content in processed foods.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year, encompassing over 200 line items including melons among apples, berries, root vegetables, and leafy greens, with delivery to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued an IFB on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for 115 commodities spanning eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with scope details in an attached document. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB on May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across proteins, dairy, grains, and produce. A separate TDCJ solicitation for dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, posted April 23, 2026) shows state corrections procurement of individual dried fruits, though the nominal code scope does not align closely with actual buying patterns in the sample.
