UNSPSC 50385158: Temptation melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50385158 Temptation melon purees, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—specialized melon purees—diverges sharply from the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities in the source block are tagged across school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and other state and local bodies, but none procure temptation melon purees or specialty melon products. Instead, the opportunities span broad food-service categories: canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, frozen and canned goods, staple groceries, and complete meal-supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and state-supported living centers. The tagging appears to reflect a data-entry or classification misalignment rather than substantive procurement demand for this specific commodity.

The issuing bodies conducting food procurement at scale include school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Dallas ISD), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), counties (Muscogee County, Douglas County), cities (Bridgeport), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC's IFB for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables across 23 statewide facilities (bid extended to March 19, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual value (due March 4, 2026). These solicitations use IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and delivery to multiple sites. The code does not support meaningful pursuit at this time given the mismatch between nominal scope and actual procurement activity.
