UNSPSC 50394738: Organic persian melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394738 Organic persian melon purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this specific product; the recent solicitation record shows no direct demand for organic Persian melon purees. Instead, recent opportunities tagged under this code or nearby food-supply categories reflect much broader food-service purchases: shelf-stable pantry staples (canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, vegetables), fresh produce for schools and senior services (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, leafy greens), frozen and refrigerated items for correctional facilities and state hospitals (cheese, meats, dairy, specialty entrees), and dried fruit products. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas TDCJ, Illinois state hospitals), county and city school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and county/city social services (Gwinnett County for senior services). Most activity centers on formal competitive bidding—ITBs, RFPs, and IFBs—with response windows of 10 to 45 days and contract terms typically running 12 months with renewal options.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools), Illinois (state hospital vendor contracts), Oregon (ODOC), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal quote request (IWQ) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical award price of $21.84 per case; Texas HHSC's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products to serve state-supported living centers with a prior contract value of $1.5 million annually; and the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for 115 line items of commodities to supply the school nutrition center. Pricing is typically firm-fixed per unit or case, with FOB destination delivery prepaid by vendor and payment cycles of 30 to 45 days. Buy American provisions and domestic-content minimums (51 percent for processed products) appear in school and state-hospital solicitations. Organic Persian melon purees do not appear in any recent posting; vendors in this category should expect to compete on broader food-supply frameworks, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or specialized food-service contracts rather than this narrow commodity line.
