UNSPSC 50334617: Dried organic galia melons

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

UNSPSC 50334617 Dried organic galia melons is a Commodity code that covers specialized dried fruit products supplied primarily to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. State and local governments purchase dried organic galia melons as part of broader fresh and dried produce procurement for student meal programs and institutional cafeterias, often bundled with other produce categories in larger nutrition supply contracts. The code sees demand from school districts of varying sizes as well as county correctional authorities, with sourcing typically occurring through annual competitive bidding cycles tied to fiscal-year food service budgets.

Recent state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and concentrated in school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California. The most visible recent opportunities target fresh and dried produce collectively rather than dried organic galia melons as a standalone line item. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning multiple apple, berry, and melon varieties with a June 26, 2026 response deadline; the scope included melons but did not isolate dried galia melons specifically. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) due April 27, 2026, encompassing broad grocery categories delivered to 45 schools and distribution kitchens. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requested sealed bids for over 900 grocery line items by April 29, 2026. Santa Clara County (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts at its Elmwood Correctional Facility, due February 5, 2026, specifying dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix but not galia melons. No recent solicitations identify dried organic galia melons as a distinct procurement need, suggesting limited standalone demand for this specialty product category under current state and local purchasing patterns.
