UNSPSC 50385137: Pepino melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385137 Pepino melon purees is a Commodity code with little recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect substantial misclassification: nearly all are for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service procurement, which fall outside pepino melon purees specifically. The only tangentially related items appear in broader food-service procurements (such as the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables solicitations and various school nutrition programs) where produce and fruit products are included alongside dozens of other commodity categories, but pepino melons are not distinctly called out in any recent posting.

State and local issuing bodies procuring under food-service codes at this commodity level include school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Hancock County Board of Education), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and specialized state facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts dominate recent activity, but their bids focus on mainstream commodity procurement—applesauce, fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens), and staple proteins—not specialty fruit purees. The geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with no concentration in any region. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas (historical value $4.5 million over three years), and school district RFPs and ITBs for fresh produce and food-service supplies across multiple states (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026, and Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026). The code shows no recent market activity for pepino melon purees as a distinct procurement item.
