UNSPSC 50385107: Casaba melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385107 Casaba melon purees is a Commodity code with minimal recent relevant activity — the source records no state or local solicitations specifically for casaba melon purees. The recent opportunities tagged under this code instead cover canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, general food and consumable products, and fresh produce including apples, berries, melons, and eggs. The code's nominal scope and the actual procurements diverge significantly, suggesting the category receives limited or misdirected traffic in state and local contracting.

Issuing bodies soliciting for fruit and produce items across the broader food-supply taxonomy include state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ), school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools), and county education boards (Muscogee County School District). School districts and education boards dominate the recent activity, particularly in the South and Midwest. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with responses due July 31, 2026; the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state supported living centers with proposals due July 11, 2026; Hancock County Schools' IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's IFB BNB053266 for commodities to supply the Board of Education with submissions due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across Georgia with proposals due March 4, 2026. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, and the Midwest, with school nutrition procurement driving the majority of volume.
