UNSPSC 50385113 Dixie Lee Melon Purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show minimal specific activity under this exact commodity designation. The solicitations indexed under this code predominantly source shelf-stable canned and processed fruit items—including applesauce, canned fruit, and dried fruit bars—for school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and county nutrition programs. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the broader fruit and vegetable processing family include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and specialized institutional food service operations. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas DHHS have posted multiple opportunities for canned applesauce and processed fruit commodities over the trailing six months, indicating repeat procurement cycles tied to institutional budgets and consumption patterns.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with additional solicitations from federal agencies managing state-supported facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-preference weighting; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period baseline of $1.5 million; and Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including sauces and specialty products, due October 19, 2026. Delivery is typically FOB destination to central distribution points or school nutrition centers, with firm fixed pricing required and compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions where applicable, and state prompt payment and insurance requirements. The code shows fragmented, low-volume individual solicitations rather than consolidated state-level blanket awards, creating multiple entry points but requiring vendors to manage frequent competitive cycles.
