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 (Commodity) does not show meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with its scope. The single UNSPSC category name references a specific produce item—dried ogen melons—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly for dried melons, ogen or otherwise.

The most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span grocery items, fresh produce, food and consumable products, and meal preparation services. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for grocery items to the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services covered over 1,100 line items including vegetables and fruits but did not isolate dried melons; Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce under the 2026-27 school year listed fresh melons across multiple varieties but again not dried product; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical contract value $1.5 million) covered broad food service categories without specific fresh or dried melon designation; and the State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products contained no accessible detail. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement database or that dried ogen melons are purchased only incidentally as part of larger food service or grocery contracts rather than as a standalone line item. Firms pursuing state and local food service and school nutrition work may encounter demand for dried melons embedded in multi-line-item RFPs, but no recent IFB, RFQ, or ITB has made the product a primary focus of solicitation activity.
