UNSPSC 50385109: Charentais melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385109 Charentais melon purees is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit Charentais melon puree or any melon puree product; instead, they document school district food service procurement (fresh produce, dried fruit bars), state corrections and health-services food supply (canned applesauce, cafeteria foods, supplemental food and consumables), senior services nutrition programs, and veterans home weekly food orders. The code appears to be a classification mismatch in the issuing systems rather than a signal of active demand for the product named.

State and local procurement for food and consumable items in general is active across school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Recent solicitations span the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Connecticut), the upper Midwest (Illinois), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Texas, posted between May and October 2026 with response dates ranging from June through October. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's request for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's bid for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with a prior monetary value of $1.5 million), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's invitation for 382 line items of cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Vendors pursuing food supply contracts at state and local level should monitor school nutrition, corrections, health services, and senior services solicitations directly rather than rely on the Charentais melon puree code for opportunity identification.
