UNSPSC 50534644: Dried non GMO regency melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO regency 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 50534644 Dried non-GMO Regency melons (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal commodity — a specific dried-melon product line — does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under this classification by state and local buyers.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad food service procurement for school districts, county governments, and state agencies, but the actual solicitations focus on comprehensive grocery supply, fresh produce delivery, and meal services rather than dried specialty melons. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 solicitation (BNB052266) sought over 1,100 grocery line items including fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen products, and dairy for the National School Lunch Program; Hancock County Schools' June 2026 fresh-produce bid (PE67080NONST2027000000013) covered 200+ line items of fresh apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 food and consumables bid (HHS0017449) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center specified NIGP food-service classifications rather than discrete commodity lines. Fairfax County Public Schools (April 2026, IFB 2000004323) and Meriden Public Schools (RFP02641, February 2026) both solicited master grocery contracts spanning dozens of product categories across school delivery networks. The Georgia State procurement for fresh produce (PE68504NONST2026000000006, April 2026) and the Bulloch County Schools School Nutrition Grocery Bid (PE55612NONST2027000000033, April 2026) similarly request broad produce assortments, not specialty dried items. None of the recent postings mention dried non-GMO Regency melons or specialty dried-fruit lines as a line item or contract focus. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged to this code or that dried specialty melons are not currently a state and local procurement priority in the available market.
