UNSPSC 50394721: Organic icebox melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394721 Organic icebox melon purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this Commodity code cover canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, canned fruit, and broad food service supply categories — none of which are organic melon purees. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal scope and the active procurement activity. State and local food service buyers — primarily school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and state hospital systems across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois — are soliciting food supply and grocery items through this classification, but the items themselves span canned and fresh fruits, vegetables, protein products, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies rather than the specialized category the code name describes.

The recent activity comprises IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Douglas County School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Response dates ranged from June 2 through July 31, 2026. The code does not meaningfully segment this market — the nominal scope (organic melon purees) appears to be either an encoding error or a legacy category designation that procurement offices are reusing for broad food service procurement without regard to specification fit. If you are evaluating opportunities under this code, treat it as a catch-all food-service commodity code and verify the actual product scope in each solicitation's statement of work.
