UNSPSC 50534636: Dried non GMO peacock melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO peacock 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 50534636 Dried non-GMO peacock melons, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specialty dried produce item—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The most visible recent solicitations tagged to this code are broad grocery and food service procurement efforts, including school nutrition programs serving multiple districts, senior meal delivery across counties, and general food supply contracts for state institutions, none of which specifically reference dried peacock melons as a line item or category.

State and local buying under this code, where identifiable, spans school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and Hancock County Board of Education), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), city governments (Bridgeport, Connecticut and Dallas, Texas), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia—with scattered activity in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' three-year senior meal preparation and delivery contract (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026, estimated annual expenditure $9 million); and multiple school district fresh produce and grocery bids across Georgia issued between February and June 2026. The code itself does not generate sufficient recent procurement volume to warrant active pursuit; vendors should monitor school nutrition program solicitations and state food service contracts where dried specialty produce might appear as an ancillary item rather than a primary commodity line.
