UNSPSC 50385158: Temptation melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385158 Tempered melon purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific fruit puree product — bears no relation to the representative opportunities posted under this classification, which instead solicit shelf-stable shelf-stable food products for institutional food service including canned applesauce, fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, and general cafeteria commodities across school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services centers, and county nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code label and the actual solicitation scope suggests this Commodity code may not be actively used by state and local procurement offices, or the classification metadata does not align with current purchasing practice.

Recent opportunities under the broader food-service taxonomy span multiple issuing bodies: county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Austin Independent School District, Texas), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Illinois, Texas), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and municipal education procurement (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and the Midwest (Illinois). Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce RFQ (June 2026, due June 26), the Texas Comptroller's TDCJ cafeteria food products ITB (May 2026, extended to May 4), and the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB covering statewide hospital and supported living center supply (March 2026, $4.5 million potential value over three years). Institutional food procurement under related codes typically awards to single or multiple vendors on a best-value basis, requires firm fixed pricing, demands Buy American compliance and USDA grade certifications, and includes delivery-window and recall-readiness requirements.
