UNSPSC 50385151: Sprite melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385151 Sprite melon purees (Commodity) describes a narrowly defined product category that state and local procurement offices rarely source directly; instead, the code's nominal scope diverges sharply from what recent solicitations actually buy. The recent opportunities block shows no procurements for sprite melon purees. Instead, state and local governments across the region are issuing solicitations for broader food-service categories—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, and food-supply contracts for schools, corrections facilities, and health and human services operations. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases) with a July 31, 2026 response date and a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps in July 2026 via RFP 27RFP004. Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products (food service, supply services, and canteen operations) with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and a July 13, 2026 response date. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office sought quarterly weekly food orders (brand-specific) in June 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (200+ line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items) with a June 26, 2026 due date; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities (115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, fruit and vegetable products) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with a June 26, 2026 deadline and MBE/CBE preference eligibility.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state food-service agencies. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 in April 2026 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens and a central warehouse; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued two separate groceries solicitations in March 2026 (Grocery NOI and Grocery Items for 2026-27, due April 29, 2026) serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants. Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in March 2026 for food products (400+ items) to supply 13 school delivery points. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP JC250079 on February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026, for various food products for Food and Child Nutrition Services (Maria Luna Warehouse), with M/WBE program participation encouraged. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 in February 2026 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (72 line items) serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two); the same district issued RFP 26-003 in January 2026 for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million to supply 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools serving 25,500 students. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts, two HHSC/DSHS state health facilities), Texas (HHSC, DSHS, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state CPO). The code itself shows no relevant recent activity; business development professionals should treat this as a mismatch signal and instead track the broader commodity-food and grocery-supply families that state and local procurement offices actively use.
