UNSPSC 50385150: Spanish melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385150 Spanish melon purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no purchasing activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The 18 opportunities posted between February 2026 and July 2026 span applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodities across school districts, state corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and district nutrition programs—none of which involve Spanish melon purees as a distinct line item or procurement focus. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment in source systems or that Spanish melon purees, if purchased at all by state and local bodies, represents a negligible share of activity within this taxonomy category.

State and local food-service procurement under this code family actually centers on bulk food supply for institutional nutrition programs, with issuing bodies predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), and county health facilities (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a March 19, 2026 response date; Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with an estimated $9 million annual expenditure and a February 18, 2026 deadline; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products for the 2026-2027 school year with an April 2, 2026 response date. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and the broader Southeast, with scattered opportunities in Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Pre-bid conferences, cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative), and firm-fixed pricing with annual or multi-year terms are standard; Buy American and nutritional-standards compliance appear in nearly all school-nutrition solicitations.
