UNSPSC 50385116: Fiesta melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385116 Fiesta melon purees is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly matching fiesta melon purees and instead reflect a much broader landscape of fruit and food commodity procurement. State and local agencies acquiring under related fruit and food codes are procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, supplemental food and consumables, and cafeteria food products—categories that subsume or sit adjacent to the nominal code scope. The issuing bodies span counties (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Hancock County, Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). No single issuer dominates; Illinois and Texas appear multiple times, and food service procurement is distributed across education, corrections, health services, and senior services divisions.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026, respectively), with historical pricing near $21.83–$21.84 per case and awards to Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner; Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (bid deadline March 19, 2026); Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026); and Hancock County Schools sought fresh produce for 2026–27 (due June 26, 2026) across 200+ line items. Gwinnett County requested shelf-stable food items via informal written quote (due October 19, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport requested school lunch commodities (due June 26, 2026). Austin ISD issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). The code shows no recent fiesta melon puree solicitations; the disconnect between the code name and actual solicitation scope warrants careful specification review before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
