UNSPSC 50334654: Dried organic sugar baby melons

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

UNSPSC 50334654 Dried organic sugar baby melons is a Commodity code that nominally covers dehydrated specialty melons, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity directly aligned with this narrow product line. The code does not appear in recent school nutrition, correctional facility food service, or municipal procurement activity; instead, the most recent opportunities in the dried-fruit-and-nuts procurement family target raisins, cranberries, walnuts, pecans, and whole dried prunes for institutional food service. State and local buyers—primarily school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, and sheriff's departments—are actively sourcing dried fruits and tree nuts for child nutrition programs and detention facility meal services, but solicitations consistently name standard dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, prunes) and nuts rather than specialty or organic dried melons. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department (Elmwood Correctional Facility) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in February 2026. Neither solicitation mentions dried sugar baby melons or organic variants.

Geographic activity in this commodity family is concentrated in Georgia (Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs, Liberty County Board of Education IFB for food products, Hancock County Schools nutrition bid, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools fresh produce contract) and Texas (TDCJ food supply across multiple warehouse locations, extended via addendum to May 2026). California (Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery contract) also show procurement activity in the broader dried-fruit and fresh-produce categories. The source contains no recent solicitation specifically targeting dried organic sugar baby melons, suggesting this code either sees infrequent state and local demand or is rarely applied to actual purchases in this jurisdiction set.
