UNSPSC 50394714: Organic eclipse melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394714 Organic eclipse melon purees (Commodity) bears little relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific processed fruit product, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service commodities — none of which align with melon purees or the "organic" and "eclipse" specifications the code name implies. The mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the actual goods being procured under it suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a code that no longer reflects procurement practice.

Activity under this code spans state corrections departments, school districts, and state health and human services agencies across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million maximum contract value over three years, due March 19, 2026 per the amended posting), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple schools (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for master grocery K-12 supply (due April 27, 2026). The issuing bodies pursuing food service procurement are predominantly school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations rather than specialty-product manufacturers or distributors. The code shows active use but does not reflect purchase of the commodity its name specifies, making pursuit decisions difficult without clarity on whether the code will remain in use or be recoded to align with actual procurement scope.
