UNSPSC 50394709: Organic charentais melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394709 Organic charentais melon purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, aging services, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities posted under this code, however, show minimal actual procurement of organic charentais melon purees; instead, issuing bodies are buying broad baskets of general food commodities including canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, proteins, dairy products, grains, and condiments. The code's nominal scope does not align closely with what state and local procurement offices are actually requesting. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county boards of education and county health departments (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and state-level social services (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). School nutrition programs and corrections food service dominate the recent posting volume.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with activity spanning the first half of 2026 through mid-October. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, offering 10 percent combined Oregon preference; Austin Independent School District's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and living centers statewide with historical contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years; and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year. Buy American provisions and domestic content minimums (51 percent for processed products) appear routinely. The code shows activity but weak alignment between the nominal commodity (organic charentais melon purees) and actual procurement scope, suggesting either mislabeling in the state and local system or that specialized melon products rarely appear as standalone line items in these solicitations.
