UNSPSC 50394717: Organic galia melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394717 Organic galia melon purees is a Commodity code that bears little relevance to current state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged under this code do not involve organic galia melon purees or any melon purees at all. Instead, state and local bodies are procuring canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, potatoes, eggs), frozen and refrigerated entrees, dairy products, bread, grains, condiments, and general food service supplies for institutional feeding programs—primarily K–12 school nutrition, state corrections facilities, and state health and human services institutions. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Austin, Dallas, Rockwood, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, and Douglas County school districts in various states), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education). No opportunities in the recent block actually solicit melon purees of any origin.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the South and mid-Atlantic: Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned fruit applesauce ITB (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumable IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually for a state supported living center; and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in one area alone. The code's nominal definition does not match procurement reality; either the code assignment is erroneous or the code itself has drifted from current institutional food purchasing patterns.
