UNSPSC 50385129: Long gray melon purees

The variety of melons known as long gray melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385129 Long gray melon purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrower range of state and local food procurement than its name suggests. Recent solicitations under this code show issuing bodies purchasing shelf-stable and processed food products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broader food-service staples—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. The issuing-body mix includes county boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county/municipal purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, City of Bridgeport in Connecticut). School districts and state agencies managing institutional food service drive the bulk of recent activity, with repeat solicitations from the State of Illinois for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy and from the Oregon Department of Corrections for canned applesauce.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 in May 2026 due June 2, and S2910000017453 in July 2026 due July 31), with a historical award price of approximately $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants) with August and June due dates. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a large IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a due date of July 11, 2026, and a prior period value of $1.5 million. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 due July 16, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items due June 26, 2026.
