UNSPSC 50385122: Ida pride melon purees

The variety of melons known as ida pride melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385122 Ida pride melon purees is a Commodity code that covers processed fruit purees and similar shelf-stable fruit products purchased by state and local government food service operations. Recent state and local opportunities under this code actually solicited a broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional dining — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees — rather than Idaho pride melon purees specifically. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and boards of commissioners, city school districts, and municipal departments operating nutrition centers and senior services facilities. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Austin Independent School District represent repeat or representative recent buyers.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (May 18 and July 10, 2026, both due with responses in June and July), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with multiple quarterly rounds (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications) due in June and August 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide due March 19, 2026 with an estimated contract value of $4.5 million over three years, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026), and Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. School nutrition operations and state institutional food service remain the dominant use cases.
