UNSPSC 50334642: Dried organic quetzali melons

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

UNSPSC 50334642 Dried organic quetzali melons is a Commodity code. State and local procurement under this code focuses on fresh produce sourcing for school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies acquiring fresh produce as part of broader food commodities contracts, though the recent opportunities block reflects minimal direct activity specifically in dried organic melons—the most recent school-nutrition solicitations emphasize fresh melons and other produce rather than dried specialty items. Issuing bodies soliciting under related produce codes include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content apply across school lunch solicitations, and MBE/CBE certifications are mandated in certain jurisdictions.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including melons, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and citrus, with a June 26, 2026, response deadline and delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted commodity bids (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fruits and vegetable products among 115 line items serving the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products including canned and fresh vegetables and fruits across multiple warehouse locations. The code shows limited recent direct demand for dried organic melons specifically; current procurement emphasis remains on fresh produce and broad commodity contracts in which specialty dried items may be ancillary.
