UNSPSC 50394701: Organic allsweet melon purees

The variety of organic melons known as organic allsweet melons which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50394701 Organic allsweet melon purees (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and fresh fruit products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on institutional food service supply — including canned applesauce, fresh produce for schools and senior services, and broader food commodity bundles for corrections, health services, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are diverse: county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), senior services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), city nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). County food-service operations and state institutional feeding programs dominate the visible pipeline.

Recent opportunities span the South, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975 due June 2, 2026), each specifying multiple truckloads of USDA-compliant applesauce at historical pricing near $21.80 per case and offering Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal RFPs for weekly food supply to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24 and June 17, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted large ITBs spanning fresh, frozen, and canned food commodities for state hospitals and corrections facilities (HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million; HHS0016792V2 due March 19, 2026, with maximum three-year potential of $4.5 million; IFB 304T-26-300CF due May 4, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education bid fresh produce including multiple apple varieties and melons (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). The City of Bridgeport requested commodity bids including fruit and vegetable products under buy-American provisions (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). Buy-American compliance and prevailing wage requirements appear standard across southern and midwestern jurisdictions; Oregon applies state-fabrication and residency preferences.
