UNSPSC 50385142: Quetzali melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385142 Quetzali melon purees, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement — the recent opportunities tagged under this code show food service purchasing for institutional and school settings, but none specifically solicit quetzali melon purees. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect broad food commodity acquisitions spanning canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit products, and generic food and consumable items for correctional facilities, schools, and state-supported living centers. State and local buyers under broad food categories include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, school districts, county senior services, and municipal education systems. The underlying purchasing pattern—institutional bulk food acquisition with emphasis on USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, and FOB destination delivery—is consistent across issuers, but the specific commodity (quetzali melon purees) does not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with Texas and Georgia posting the highest volume of recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, IFB, due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office requesting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple ITBs, August 2026 responses), the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District requesting dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for state-supported living centers ($1.5 million historical value, IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026). If pursuing this code, confirm directly with issuing procurement offices whether quetzali melon purees align with their current or forecast institutional food service needs, as the code classification does not surface specific recent demand.
