UNSPSC 50334616: Dried organic fiesta melons

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

UNSPSC 50334616 Dried organic fiesta melons is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line — whole dried melons meeting organic and specific varietal standards — yet the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect active procurement demand for this item specifically. School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional facilities soliciting food products for nutrition programs and inmate meals dominate the recent activity under codes in the dried-fruit and produce family, but dried fiesta melons do not appear as a line item in any of the major school nutrition RFPs, IFBs, or RFQs posted between January and June 2026. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including melons but not dried varieties; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia cooperative), and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) all issued comprehensive food service bids covering hundreds of line items without calling for dried fiesta melons. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County (California) Sheriff's Department both solicited dried fruits and nuts — the latter explicitly requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans — but neither specified dried melons.

State and local procurement activity in dried fruits skews toward school nutrition programs and correctional food service, concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California, with response dates clustered from February through June 2026. The single dried-fruit–specific solicitation was Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (closed February 5, 2026), which bundled five line items on an all-or-none basis with no melon category. The code shows no recent opportunities worth pursuing at this time; the absence of dried fiesta melons across a dense field of food service bids suggests either minimal state and local demand for this item or potential miscoding in the UNSPSC classification system.
