UNSPSC 50334646: Dried organic royal star melons

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

UNSPSC 50334646 Dried organic royal star melons, a Commodity code, encompasses dried melon products procured by state and local government food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show school districts and state departments of education purchasing fresh produce including melons alongside broader fresh fruit and vegetable inventories for school lunch programs, while correctional systems and food service operations procure processed and specialty food items. The code reflects actual procurement in institutional food service contexts where melon products—whether fresh or processed—support large-scale meal preparation and delivery across multiple facility locations. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition departments and centralized state purchasing offices acting on behalf of state agencies managing food service operations.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, seeking fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items including melons and other produce across three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center via electronic submission by June 26, 2026. The State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with an extended response date of May 4, 2026. School nutrition RFQs and IFBs consistently require Buy American compliance with minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and HACCP documentation; TDCJ procurement imposes USDA grade compliance and FOB destination delivery terms to multiple warehouse locations.
