UNSPSC 50423905: Dried fuzzy/hairy melon

The variety of gourds known as fuzzy/hairy melon that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423905 Dried fuzzy/hairy melon is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit under this code; the recent opportunities posted under it do not reflect purchases of dried fuzzy or hairy melon. Instead, jurisdictions use this Commodity designation inconsistently—one Oregon Department of Corrections ITB tagged 50423905 procures dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 to 127,500 pounds per award), while another Illinois state ITB under the same code requests weekly food supply items without specification of product type. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests that this Commodity code has limited relevance to business development targeting state and local food-service contracting.

Procurement activity under this code has appeared in Oregon (Department of Corrections) and Illinois (state agency) during early to mid-2026, with no identifiable repeat buyers or geographic concentration. The recent opportunities that do carry this code tag relate to institutional food service (correctional facilities and unspecified state operations) rather than dried-melon procurement. No representative solicitation specifically requests dried fuzzy or hairy melon, and no pattern of activity suggests sustained demand under this Commodity designation.
