UNSPSC 50394707: Organic casaba melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394707 Organic casaba melon purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect organic casaba melon purees procurement. Instead, the code appears to capture a broad range of food service and nutrition solicitations issued by state agencies, school districts, county boards, and municipal departments purchasing shelf-stable and fresh produce items for institutional feeding — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce assortments, eggs, poultry, dairy, proteins, and miscellaneous food supply and kitchen products. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and human services, independent school districts, county boards of education, county purchasing offices, city procurement divisions, and state supported living centers. Texas agencies (state health and human services, department of criminal justice, comptroller's office on behalf of corrections) and Georgia and Illinois state procurement offices appear as repeat buyers across the recent opportunities. Oregon Department of Corrections and Connecticut cities also solicit regularly under this code.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Southwest — Texas, Georgia, and Illinois dominate the recent record, with Oregon and Connecticut representing secondary activity. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 (HHS0017449), estimated historical value $1.5 million; Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 (S-29100-00017453), historical price $21.84 per case; and Hancock County Board of Education requesting bids on fresh produce for school year 2026-27 with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 (IFB #SN002-2027), spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items for delivery to three school sites.
