UNSPSC 50334606: Dried organic cantaloupe melons

A muskmelon (cucumis melo reticulatus) having a rind with netted tracery and reddish orange flesh that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334606 Dried organic cantaloupe melons is a Commodity code representing a single dried-fruit product line; state and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and correctional facilities buying fresh and processed produce for food-service operations. The recent opportunities show that dried cantaloupe appears incidentally in broader fresh-produce and food-commodity procurements rather than as a standalone item — the two detailed school-nutrition solicitations (Hancock County Schools and Bridgeport Board of Education) name melons as part of 200+ and 115+ line-item produce rosters, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia state procurement opportunities encompass diverse food categories with no dried-cantaloupe specificity. The code's current activity reflects institutional food service rather than specialty or organic agricultural sales; issuing bodies are county school districts, municipal school boards, state correctional and food-service departments, and state-level procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, seeking fresh produce across multiple apple, berry, vegetable, and melon varieties for the 2026–27 school year under Buy American requirements. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items (including produce) to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, also under Buy American and MBE/CBE provisions. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended response deadline), seeking approximately 382 food-commodity line items for distribution across five Texas regions. The Georgia Department of Administrative Services posted a food-supplies opportunity on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Current procurement activity in this code reflects institutional buyer scale and multi-line-item scope; narrow pursuit of dried organic cantaloupe as a standalone product line shows limited direct opportunity signal.
