UNSPSC 50334609: Dried organic charentais melons

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

UNSPSC 50334609 Dried organic charentais melons, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are chiefly school districts and correctional agencies procuring fresh and processed produce for meal service. The scope of work—when it appears in solicitations—is embedded within much broader fresh produce or food commodity bundles rather than as a standalone line item; the code itself does not yet show solicitations targeting dried charentais melons specifically.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with school nutrition procurement driving most recent volume. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 line items of food commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026). Neither solicitation isolates dried charentais melons as a distinct requirement; both treat melons as components of larger fresh or processed produce portfolios. The Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) and a separate TDCJ prune procurement (due February 20, 2026) show correctional food purchasing but do not reference this specific melon variety. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products apply across school nutrition contracts, and MBE/CBE certifications are required in Connecticut. The code shows little market signal as a standalone procurement driver under current state and local practice.
