UNSPSC 50334643: Dried organic red goblin melons

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

UNSPSC 50334643 Dried organic red goblin melons is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy this code alongside a much broader spectrum of fresh produce, processed foods, and food-service supplies through school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state supply contracts. Recent solicitations show that dried melons appear as line items within large commodity RFBs that span proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, and specialty produce — rarely in isolation. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas procurement divisions), and correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, typically using IFBs with sealed-bid deadlines and Buy American requirements mandating at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products; correctional systems use similar IFB structures with firm pricing and USDA grade compliance.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with responses due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 fresh and specialty produce line items including melons for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruits, and vegetables) serving the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 cafeteria food line items including fresh and canned vegetables, fruits, and specialty items across five geographic distribution areas, with contract term through August 31, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals. The Georgia State Procurement Division posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. Dried melons do not appear as a named line item in any of these recent summaries; the code shows little targeted recent activity specific to dried organic red goblin melons themselves.
