UNSPSC 50385139: Picnic melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385139 Picnic melon purees, a Commodity code, sees limited direct activity aligned with its nominal scope — recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code actually procure canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and broad-based food service products for correctional facilities, schools, health and human services centers, and transit agencies, with no recent picnic-melon-specific opportunities appearing in the dataset. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut, and independent school districts in major metropolitan areas including Dallas, Austin, and Fairfax County. The code shows substantial activity in school food service procurement — child nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunities, with elementary, middle, and high schools regularly soliciting fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and specialty items through IFBs and RFPs spanning July through April across multiple contract years.

Geographic spread concentrates in Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Illinois (statewide). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods-and-resident preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million and estimated contract period September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2028; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items due June 26, 2026, with Buy American requirements and delivery to three school locations. The code's recent activity centers on food service supply rather than melons or purees specifically, reflecting how state and local procurement tagging often diverges from abstract commodity classifications when the actual buying need spans broader categories.
