UNSPSC 50385119: Hami melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385119 Hami melon purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity focused on this specific product line. State and local governments soliciting under the code buy shelf-stable and fresh produce for institutional food service, including canned and processed fruits alongside broader commodity food bundles for schools, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and municipal food service operations. Recent solicitations show state purchasing offices and institutional food service directors issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for mixed fresh and processed produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods as part of larger commodity bundles rather than for hami melon purees in isolation.

Recent opportunities underscore that hami melon purees are not explicitly called out in current state and local RFPs. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs in May and July 2026 for canned applesauce (approximately 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively, ITB S-29100-00017453 with bids due July 31, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education sought fresh produce including melons for the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured broad food and consumable categories spanning fresh, frozen, and canned fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, proposals due July 13, 2026). Gwinnett County in Georgia requested shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IFQ 140229, quotes due October 19, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with no jurisdictions soliciting specifically for hami melon purees as a standalone item or within representative line-item specifications across the ten most recent opportunities logged. The code shows limited current relevance to active state and local food service procurement; vendors should monitor broader produce and canned-fruit categories under higher-tier codes rather than expect dedicated hami melon puree solicitations.
