UNSPSC 50334608: Dried organic cavaillon melons

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

UNSPSC 50334608 Dried organic cavaillon melons (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this code in state and local government. The recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit fresh produce, eggs, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive food supply and distribution for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public institutional feeding operations—a scope substantially broader than dried organic melons specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) alongside state departments (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller of Public Accounts), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), county correctional systems (Santa Clara County Sheriff), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts. No vendor has been awarded under this code in the recent window, and the sourcing emphasis across these opportunities centers on establishing annual term contracts with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content for processed products), USDA grade certification, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to multiple school sites or institutional locations on weekly or as-needed schedules.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System running a cooperative for 30 districts across two areas) and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), with secondary activity in California (Santa Clara County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one area and $1.1 million for the other (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with bid submission due April 27, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. The code shows minimal activity specifically for dried organic melons and substantial mismatch with the commodity name.
