UNSPSC 50334637: Dried organic pepino melons

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

UNSPSC 50334637 Dried organic pepino melons (Commodity) represents a specialized dried fruit product that state and local governments procure as part of broader nutrition and food service supply contracts. Recent state and local solicitations show this code appearing within large-scope fresh and dried produce RFBs and IFBs issued by school nutrition departments, state departments of corrections, and municipal boards of education. The work encompasses sourcing dried pepino melons to specification — typically in bulk case quantities with HACCP documentation, food safety certifications, and adherence to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content percentages in processed fruit items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal education nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple agencies (State of Georgia).

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including specialty dried fruits, with response due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited commodities for its Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026 through the OpenGov Procurement Portal; and the State of Georgia issued an IFB for food supplies and kitchen products with response due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-300CF covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. All recent solicitations enforce Buy American requirements with minimum domestic content thresholds and require vendor compliance with USDA standards, food safety documentation, and liability insurance. Dried pepino melons, when procured under this code, are purchased as components within these multi-category food service contracts rather than as standalone line items.
