UNSPSC 50385159: Tiger baby melon purees

The variety of melons known as tiger baby melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385159 Tiger baby melon purees, a Commodity code, does not appear to reflect the work actually being solicited under this designation in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, frozen entrees, condiments, and general cafeteria and nutrition supplies — but do not include tiger baby melon purees or any melon puree products. School districts, county boards of education, state correctional departments, state veterans homes, state health and human services agencies, and municipal nutrition centers issue these solicitations. Issuing bodies include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District (Texas), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. No single buyer dominates; activity is distributed across state procurement offices, county education boards, and state institutional food service operations.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026 under IWQ 140229; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (with 5% Oregon-goods and 5% Oregon-headquartered-bidder preferences) due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical monetary value of $1.5 million for the prior contract period and proposals due July 13, 2026. The code shows significant recent activity for institutional food service procurement but does not represent a good match for specialized melon puree sourcing.
