UNSPSC 50385149: Sharlyn melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385149 Sharlyn melon purees, a Commodity code, spans a narrow product line, but state and local procurement under this code shows little recent activity aligned to the nominal scope. The opportunities tagged with this code over the past five months reflect a broader food procurement pattern that diverges significantly from melon puree specifically — recent solicitations document demand for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, meat, dairy, and prepared entrees across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and state supported living centers, but melon purees do not appear as a line item or standalone procurement target in any of the identified opportunities.

The issuing bodies soliciting food products across state and local jurisdictions include state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), and city-level nutrition departments (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center in Connecticut). The geographic spread encompasses Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with school district food service procurements appearing most frequently. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One). The code itself shows insufficient recent procurement activity specifically targeting melon purees to support meaningful business development prioritization in this commodity category.
