UNSPSC 50385104: Cal sweet melon purees

The variety of melons known as cal sweet melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385104 Cal sweet melon purees is a Commodity code that does not see substantial relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting cal sweet melon purees or similar citrus-derived purees. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables), eggs, and broad food-service commodities for correctional facilities, schools, and human services agencies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either tagging imprecision or that this specific commodity sees minimal state and local demand relative to other fruit and vegetable products.

The recent opportunities do reveal the issuing-body and geographic mix for broader food-service procurement under related codes. School districts dominate the issuer list—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas)—with state correctional and human services agencies also active. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) round out the issuing bodies. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Oregon and Connecticut. If pursuing this code, monitor whether future solicitations more precisely target melon purees or whether the category continues to be used for general fruit-based food-service items.
