UNSPSC 50385145: Royal majestic melon purees

The variety of melons known as royal majestic melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385145 Royal majestic melon purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work being solicited under this classification in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—melon purees—has yielded no relevant recent opportunities; instead, the most active procurements tagged to this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, supplemental food supplies, fresh produce, school nutrition items, and institutional food service products. State and local buying under this code centers on food procurement for correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and institutional canteens, with issuing bodies spanning the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, and the City of Bridgeport. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement suggests either miscoding by issuing agencies or significant scope drift in how this commodity category is applied to food service contracting.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in school nutrition and institutional food service. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned applesauce bids (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases delivered to Central Distribution Center Salem with 5% Oregon-goods and 5% Oregon-vendor preferences. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables statewide (IFB HHS0016792, extended to February 23, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) for state hospitals and supported living centers across 23 facilities. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) procured grocery items, fresh produce, dried fruits, and food service products via RFP, RFQ, and IFB methods between January and July 2026. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut, with school nutrition and correctional/institutional facilities as the primary buyer categories. Dollar values range from modest institutional purchases (Hancock County's fresh-produce contract at historical $21.84/case) to substantial multi-year agreements ($9 million annually for Douglas County food distribution, $4.5 million for Texas HHSC supplemental foods over three years).
