UNSPSC 50334614: Dried organic eclipse melons

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

UNSPSC 50334614 Dried organic eclipse melons (Commodity) does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers dried organic eclipse melons—a narrow produce commodity—yet recent solicitations tagged under this code show no purchases of melons, dried or fresh, organic or conventional. Instead, the opportunities span broad school nutrition and correctional food service procurement, including fresh produce bundles (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, specialty items), eggs, fresh-cut produce, prepared entrees, proteins, grains, dairy, beverages, and dried fruits and nuts. The only dried-fruit solicitation in the block (Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts) requests raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans—not melons. Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB mentions melons in a 200-line-item list, but as a fresh commodity alongside dozens of other produce lines, not as a discrete dried-muskmelon purchase.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System) alongside one state agency (Georgia Department of Education) and one correctional facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff–Corrections). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California, with responses typically due between late February and late June 2026. The scope and issuing-body mix signal that this code is either misapplied to these opportunities or carries minimal real purchasing intent for the specific commodity it names. Firms pursuing dried-organic-melon sales to state and local buyers should verify whether procurement offices actively tag such niche products under this code before investing in RFP pursuit.
