UNSPSC 50394700: Organic melon purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50394700 Organic melon purees, a Class code, names a specific processed fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect purchases of organic melon purees. Instead, the opportunities show school districts, county education boards, state corrections agencies, state health systems, and municipal nutrition programs soliciting a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products — canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, commodity proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees — typically as part of larger food service or institutional nutrition contracts. The code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being bought in these solicitations; the opportunities reflect general food procurement activity rather than a specific puree category. State and local issuing bodies across this set include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Georgia; Gwinnett County Schools, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health systems (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and municipal nutrition centers. No vendor appears more than once across the opportunities.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (TDCJ cafeteria procurement, HHSC El Paso and statewide supplemental foods), Georgia (Gwinnett County food items, Hancock County fresh produce, State of Georgia food supplies), Oregon (ODOC applesauce), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education commodities). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bid closing July 31, 2026) with Oregon goods and resident bidder preferences totaling 10 percent; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792v2, bid deadline March 19, 2026, maximum three-year value of $4.5 million). The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to organic melon purees as a discrete commodity.
