UNSPSC 50534634: Dried non GMO ogen melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO ogen 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 50534634 Dried non-GMO ogen melons, a Commodity code, sees virtually no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The eleven opportunities posted between January and June 2026 in the source data span school nutrition grocery contracts, senior meal delivery services, fresh produce procurement, and boxed meal catering—none of which specifically solicited dried ogen melons or melons of any kind as a line item. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual buying patterns across the state and local jurisdictions represented.

School districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and cities (Bridgeport, Dallas, Meriden) procured comprehensive food and nutrition products under food-service and nutrition-program solicitations during this period, but dried melons did not appear as a specified commodity in any of the posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices. The buying focus centered on fresh produce (apples, berries, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, and eggs), packaged and frozen groceries, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments in support of school lunch programs, senior congregate and home-delivered meals, and state facility food service. Until dried ogen melons appear as a line item in school nutrition or institutional food-service bids, this code warrants a skip status for business development purposes.
