UNSPSC 50385106: Carnical melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385106 Carnaval melon purees (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records as part of broader food-service sourcing, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct activity tied to this specific commodity. State and local governments purchase this commodity primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and health and human services facilities as components of institutional meal service, though recent opportunities align more closely with generalized fruit products (applesauce, pears, dried fruit bars) and fresh produce procurement rather than melon purees specifically. School districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county boards of education serve as the primary issuing bodies, alongside specialized facilities such as state supported living centers. The mix reflects institutional food service across multiple operational contexts—K-12 nutrition, incarceration, and state healthcare delivery.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri based on recent school nutrition and state facility procurement, with smaller activity in Connecticut and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for canned fruit applesauce delivered to Salem with historical pricing at $21.84 per case, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB HHS0016792 (posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026) encompassing 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million, and the Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 spanning food delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The code shows limited direct activity; recent solicitations under related UNSPSC categories favor fresh produce, canned and dried fruit products, and commodity food distribution rather than purees as a distinct line item.
