UNSPSC 50385160: Tuscan type melon purees

The variety of melons known as tuscan type melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385160 Tuscan type melon purees is a Commodity-level code, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it diverge sharply from the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted instead request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, frozen entrees, food service supplies, and institutional meal components—not melon purees. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Schools, Douglas County Schools), state corrections and health facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts dominate the recent activity, reflecting ongoing demand for food service procurement to support child nutrition programs; state-level health and corrections agencies also solicit regularly under this code, procuring meal components and consumable supplies for institutional food service. The geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with no single state concentrating recent solicitations—the code shows distributed national activity driven largely by school district budget cycles and state agency renewal schedules.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered in five truckloads to Salem, Oregon, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 10% total Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference; the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps delivered to the district's central warehouse; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a contract period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Buy American Act compliance, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and comprehensive insurance requirements appear across all recent opportunities. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are typical; however, some jurisdictions apply state-level vendor preferences (Oregon's combined 10% for goods and residency) or local business classifications.
