UNSPSC 50394736: Organic peacock melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394736 Organic peacock melon purees is a Commodity code that describes processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code do not center on peacock melons or melon purees specifically. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food commodities—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and miscellaneous food service items—for schools, correctional facilities, veterans homes, senior services, and state health facilities. The work involves responding to IFBs, ITBs, and RFPs with firm fixed pricing on line-item food products, meeting USDA grades and commodity specifications, complying with Buy American provisions where applicable (notably in school nutrition contexts), maintaining product liability and commercial general liability insurance, and delivering on FOB Destination terms to designated institutional warehouses and distribution centers. Issuing bodies range from state agencies (Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Georgia) to county boards of education, city nutrition centers, and special institutional operators; repeat buyers include the State of Illinois for veterans home food service, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, Comptroller).

Recent activity spans multiple states with significant concentration in Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, Comptroller), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, state-level), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative opportunities include the Texas Comptroller issuing IFB 304T26300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouse locations with a May 4, 2026 response deadline; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office requesting weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications with August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026 deadlines; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) and 1,904 cases (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) with 5 percent Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences applied; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026); and Austin Independent School District seeking proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026). Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear frequently in school nutrition procurements, while state-agency food service contracts emphasize insurance, prevailing wage compliance, and three-year record retention obligations.
