UNSPSC 50394712: Organic crimson sweet melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394712 Organic crimson sweet melon purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity under this code. Recent opportunities solicited under this code taxonomy span canned and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health care institutions, and school districts—far broader than the nominal code name suggests. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Austin ISD (Texas), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Dallas ISD (Texas); state departments and correctional agencies also procure regularly, including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and the upper Midwest, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, and Virginia.

Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026, with a 10% preference for Oregon goods and vendors), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (food delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, bids due April 27, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers, maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years with renewal options). School districts consistently require Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic content for processed items), firm fixed pricing for contract terms, delivery to multiple school sites on weekly schedules, compliance with USDA nutritional standards and food safety protocols including HACCP plans, and commercial general liability insurance of $1 million minimum. Pricing structures vary—some procurements use per-unit firm fixed rates, others employ net-off-invoice or cost-plus-fixed-fee models with market basket analyses. Most contracts run July-through-June fiscal years with automatic renewal options ranging from one to four additional years, and many reserve award authority to make single or multiple vendor awards on a line-item basis.
