UNSPSC 50385102: Athena melon purees

The variety of melons known as athena melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385102 Athena melon purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities posted under 50385102 span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodity categories—none of which are melon purees. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the tagging system or that melon purees see negligible recent procurement activity under this specific code at the state and local level.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are predominantly school districts and state agencies responsible for meal programs. Entities include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the activity; state facilities including corrections and health services represent a secondary stream. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Oregon, with activity in Connecticut and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products statewide (historical value $4.5 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (estimated annual spending $5.5 million combined). If your firm targets melon puree supply specifically, the current code activity does not support a pursue decision; broader fresh and processed fruit categories show strong ongoing demand across meal programs and institutional food service.
