UNSPSC 50334619: Dried organic hami melons

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

UNSPSC 50334619 Dried organic hami melons, a Commodity code, encompasses dried fruit products procured by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent opportunities show actual purchasing focused on commodity-level dried fruits and nuts — raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans — supplied to detention facilities and school systems on annual fixed-price contracts with firm or capped pricing for multi-year terms.

School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posting for fresh and processed produce and grocery items in the past six months. The County of Santa Clara, California, issued an Invitation to Bids for dried fruits and nuts to its Department of Correction. Georgia and the broader Southeast represent the heaviest concentration of recent activity, with school nutrition programs in Georgia generating multiple concurrent solicitations. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items including melons, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's IFB for commodities to its Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts to Elmwood Correctional Facility (due February 5, 2026, on a five-year term with Year 1 firm pricing). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and State of Georgia also issued recent solicitations for food and commodity supply covering dried fruits and related staples. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content or domestic processing appear in nearly all school nutrition solicitations, and most award on lowest responsive bid basis with the option to split awards across multiple vendors by line item or delivery location.
