UNSPSC 50534645: Dried non GMO royal majestic melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO royal majestic 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 50534645 Dried non GMO royal majestic melons is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific dried melon product, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little to no direct alignment with this narrow specification. The recent opportunities in the dataset are overwhelmingly school nutrition and senior meal programs seeking comprehensive fresh produce, grocery staples, prepared meals, and food distribution services—not dried specialty melons. State and local jurisdictions issuing under this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Fairfax County Public Schools), county and municipal procurement bodies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, City of Dallas, City of Meriden), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and regional education cooperatives. The geographic spread includes Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with the most recent and substantial activity concentrated in Georgia school districts and cooperatives.

Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a July 1, 2026 contract start and Buy American domestic content requirements; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, melons) with June 26 bid deadline; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center with July 11, 2026 proposal deadline and estimated $1.5 million annual value; and Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries, beverages, and produce with approximately $3.1 million anticipated value for 2026–2027. The code shows no recent or active procurement specifically targeting dried non-GMO royal majestic melons as a standalone commodity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent buying patterns suggests limited relevance to this particular product line in current state and local procurement activity.
