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 that captures food and consumable products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code focus predominantly on shelf-stable canned and packaged foods—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items—rather than pepino melon purees specifically. State and local governments buying under this code span county boards of education, state corrections and veterans' facilities, state health and human services agencies, city school districts, and special-purpose public boards. County boards of education and state institutional food-service programs appear most frequently in recent activity, with repeat procurement bodies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois (for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The scope of work is fundamentally institutional food procurement—cafeteria supplies, nutrition center stock, fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, shelf-stable items, and consumables for prisons, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, senior services centers, and school nutrition programs, typically under multi-line-item IFBs or RFQs with firm fixed pricing, brand-or-equal or brand-specific specifications, and FOB destination delivery to centralized warehouses or distribution centers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, vegetables) due October 19, 2026, under IWQ 140229; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for the fourth quarter of FY-27 (September through December) posted August 19, 2026, available as both brand-specific and brand-or-equal proposals; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award price $21.84 per case) due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 13, 2026, reflecting a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear in school district procurements in Georgia and Connecticut. Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term, with delivery F.O.B. destination and prepaid transportation.
