UNSPSC 50334651: Dried organic sprite melons

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

UNSPSC 50334651 Dried organic sprite melons is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried melon products, though the recent solicitations show that dried sprite melons specifically represent a small subset of activity under broader fresh and processed produce buys. School districts and corrections agencies are the primary buyers, procuring fresh and processed produce including melons as part of nutrition and food service operations. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, for instance, solicited fresh produce including melons for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), specifying over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple categories with delivery to three school locations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has similarly posted multiple food solicitations covering cafeteria products and specialty items such as dried prunes. These buyers enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products, maintain HACCP or equivalent food-safety compliance requirements, and typically reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors based on responsiveness and price.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut. The State of Georgia issued a food commodities solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) that covered supplies and kitchen products without itemizing scope in the posting. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for school nutrition commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce items (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications available under local ordinance. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026 following extension via Addendum No. 2), with FOB Destination pricing and awards made by line item. A TDCJ-issued bid (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size (minimum 1,400 boxes to the Corpus location), closed February 20, 2026, with Amendment No. 1 revising the opening date. None of these solicitations explicitly name dried sprite melons as a line item; the code's recent activity appears limited to general melon procurement within broader fresh-produce categories rather than dried sprite-specific buys.
