UNSPSC 50334620: Dried organic honeydew melons

Any of a variety of organic muskmelon vines having fruit with a smooth white rind and white or greenish flesh that does not have a musky smell that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334620 Dried organic honeydew melons is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single produce line item, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce, grocery staples, entrees, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods for school nutrition and correctional facility food services—not dried organic honeydew melons specifically. One solicitation (County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts procurement) involves dried-product categories, but that contract calls for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, with no mention of honeydew melons. The remaining nine opportunities are broad-scope food and grocery contracts that list fresh produce among 72 to over 900 line items each, spanning apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and melons (fresh, not dried), but do not isolate dried honeydew melon as a distinct procurement target. A mismatch between the code designation and actual solicitation scope suggests this code does not currently reflect active state and local buying patterns for dried organic honeydew melons.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted multiple food and grocery contracts in the first half of 2026. Bridgeport, Connecticut's Department of Public Purchases, the City of Bridgeport's Board of Education, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicited food supplies. Opportunities cluster in Georgia (four school districts plus one state-level food supply RFP) and Texas (TDCJ contracts), with additional activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California. Recent solicitations issued IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs with response dates between early February and late June 2026, typically requiring sealed bids or electronic submissions through e-procurement portals (Bonfire, OpenGov, NUTRIKIDS, SCC-Ariba) with firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract periods. None of the representative opportunities specifically targets dried organic honeydew melon procurement, indicating the code warrants close monitoring before pursuing without first confirming issuing-body intent through Q&A or pre-bid contact.
