UNSPSC 50385123: Juan canary melon purees

The variety of melons known as juan canary melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385123 Juan canary melon purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The opportunities tagged with this code predominantly seek canned and fresh fruit products, prepared entrees, dried fruit bars, eggs, fresh produce, and broad-scope food commodities for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers—none of which are melon purees. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide including canned goods, frozen entrees, and dairy products (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026). The issuing bodies span state departments, school districts, and special-purpose facilities across multiple states, with school nutrition programs representing the largest concentration of recent activity. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois, with school districts and state agencies in the Southeast and Texas appearing most active in the recent quarter.

Representative recent opportunities show the code's actual purchasing pattern. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for school nutrition under IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits. Austin Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP JC250079 (due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spices and ice cream for child nutrition services. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covers fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in one area. School nutrition programs consistently require firm fixed pricing, delivery to multiple school sites, Buy American compliance, and USDA commodity specifications. The code shows active procurement but a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and actual buying behavior; vendors pursuing this code should expect food service commodity and fresh produce solicitations rather than melon purees specifically.
