UNSPSC 50334644: Dried organic regency melons

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

UNSPSC 50334644 Dried organic regency melons is a Commodity code that describes individual produce items state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies buying fresh and dried produce as line items within broader food-supply contracts, rather than as standalone dried melon purchases. The actual work involves providing commodity produce meeting USDA grade standards, HACCP food-safety protocols, Buy American domestic-content requirements, and compliance with nutrition and food-safety regulations for institutional meal service. Issuing bodies include county school boards, city departments of education, state departments managing institutional food procurement, and state correctional systems. School nutrition programs appear as the primary buyers, with secondary activity in corrections and state institutional food service.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce across 200 line items including melons, berries, and vegetables for the 2026–27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products on June 26, 2026, for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with an extended due date of May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items. A separate TDCJ bid for whole dried prunes (IW236532) closed February 20, 2026. All solicitations require firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance documentation, proof of food-safety certifications, and shipment on a destination-freight-prepaid basis to designated institutional locations.
