UNSPSC 50394704: Organic cal sweet melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394704 Organic cal sweet melon purees (Commodity) shows substantial activity in state and local procurement, though recent opportunities reflect broader fruit and produce sourcing rather than melon purees specifically. State and local governments buying under this code procure canned and fresh fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including melons, and general food commodities—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (including large systems like Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), state departments of corrections and health and human services, and county boards of education. School districts dominate the activity, with food service procurement driving repetitive, annual solicitations across multiple jurisdictions.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792, approximately $4.5 million maximum value over three years); the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts (PE64810NONST2026000000047, approximately $5.5 million combined for two areas); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (2000004323, due April 27, 2026). Buy American provisions apply across school-based procurements, with domestic-content minimums of 51 percent for processed products. Pricing is typically firm fixed for contract periods, with delivery FOB destination, prepaid freight, and annual or multi-year terms. Vendor requirements include commercial general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and HACCP plans where applicable.
