UNSPSC 50385115: Ein d'or melon purees

The variety of melons known as ein d'or melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385115 Ein d'or melon purees (Commodity) represents a narrow food-service ingredient category, but the recent solicitation activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the stated commodity. State and local governments buy shelf-stable and frozen food products for institutional food service — cafeterias, detention facilities, senior centers, and state hospitals — through a mix of IFB, RFP, and informal quote processes. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments, county boards of education and county commissioners, city school districts, and state-level purchasing offices. However, the recent opportunities posted under or near this code focus on broader categories: canned applesauce, fresh produce, general cafeteria commodities, dried fruit bars, and mixed food and consumable products. None of the identified solicitations specifically request ein d'or melon purees or comparable melon puree products.

The geographic spread of recent food-service procurement activity includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states, with the busiest recent activity from May through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, historical price $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, up to $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (382 line items, extended due date May 4, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors seeking to pursue melon puree or similar specialty puree products should monitor broader produce and food-ingredient codes rather than rely on this commodity designation as a reliable sourcing signal.
