UNSPSC 50385143: Red goblin melon purees

The variety of melons known as red goblin melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385143 Red goblin melon purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under this code in recent state and local contract activity. The opportunities tagged with this code involve purchase of canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food and consumable products for institutional food service operations—primarily school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities—rather than melon purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health systems (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and regional purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). The code shows no recent activity specifically for red goblin melon purees; the mismatch between the commodity name and the procurement activity documented suggests either miscoding of recent solicitations or a code that has fallen out of active use for its original commodity scope.

Recent opportunities under this code tag center on food service provisioning for institutional meals across multiple states. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem, with a 10% Oregon preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide via IFB HHS0016792 (closed February 23, 2026) spanning 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers across 12 locations.
