UNSPSC 50534611: Dried non GMO crenshaw melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO crenshaw melons that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50534611 Dried non-GMO crenshaw melons, a Commodity code, does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains thirteen recent opportunities tagged with this code, but all solicitations name composite food categories spanning grocery items, fresh produce, consumables, and prepared meals—no opportunity specifically procures dried crenshaw melons or any single dried-melon product. The mismatch is systemic: state and local food service procurement routinely tags broad family-level food-supply contracts at narrow commodity codes, but the actual buying is for aggregated food baskets, not individual product lines. The code shows little relevant recent activity when interpreted against its nominal scope.

The opportunities themselves span school districts, county education systems, state agencies, and municipal bodies across Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia, with contract values ranging from $1.5 million (Texas HHS El Paso State Supported Living Center) to $17.8 million (Hillsborough County senior meal delivery). Representative solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education seeking over 1,100 grocery line items under IFB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issuing IFB SN002-2027 for 200+ fresh-produce items with response due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County Schools (Georgia) requesting food supply and distribution across 32 schools with estimated annual spend of $9 million under RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026). If pursuing this code, verify whether your product appears as a line item in school nutrition or institutional food-service RFPs; otherwise, the taxonomy placement does not signal actionable demand.
