UNSPSC 50385103: Black diamond melon purees

The variety of melons known as black diamond melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385103 Black diamond melon purees (Commodity) does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under the recent opportunities tagged to this code. The 14 posted solicitations span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery and food service items for schools and correctional facilities—none of which are black diamond melon purees. The code shows a classification mismatch: state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code to solicit mainstream food service products for institutional buyers (school districts, state corrections, state health services facilities, and county school nutrition programs) rather than the specialty item the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, and Hancock County Board of Education), along with state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, Georgia Department of Education for Douglas County), and city purchasing (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, and Virginia, with the most recent and substantial opportunities in Georgia school districts and Texas state health and corrections agencies. Representative recent work includes the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (ITB S-29100-00017453, historical award $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026 with historical value of $1.5 million; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code itself carries limited decision value absent evidence that black diamond melon purees are being actively solicited; pursue only if your firm supplies mainstream food service commodities to institutional food service operations and can clarify the actual product scope your customers require.
