UNSPSC 50394711: Organic crenshaw melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394711 Organic crenshaw melon purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of fresh and processed fruit and vegetable products — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and shelf-stable food items — than the code's nominal scope suggests. State and local governments buy these products primarily through school districts, corrections and detention facilities, health and human services agencies, senior services programs, and municipal nutrition centers. The issuing bodies range from individual school districts and county boards of education to statewide procurement offices on behalf of corrections departments, health and human services commissions, and other state-supported facilities. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers. Work solicited under this code typically involves sealed bids or informal written quotes for food products delivered to central warehouses or distribution centers, with firm pricing quoted per unit, FOB destination delivery required within specified timeframes, and awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or based on best value. Buy American provisions are common in school district procurements; insurance requirements, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, and vendor performance verification through prior references or tracking systems are standard. Contracts generally run one to two years with optional renewal periods.
