UNSPSC 50394744: Organic regency melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394744 Organic regency melon purees, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic melon purees, melon products, or anything chemically or nutritionally proximate to the code's stated scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code span a broad range of food products: canned applesauce and canned pears, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, eggs), frozen and refrigerated entrees, dairy products, proteins, grains, condiments, and consumable food service supplies. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all classifier for miscellaneous food procurement rather than as a targeted taxonomy for melon purees specifically.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and municipal procurement (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic spread is concentrated in the South and Southeast—Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (state health agencies and school districts), Florida (Douglas County), Connecticut (Bridgeport)—with representation also from Oregon (state corrections) and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (estimated prior-period value $1.5 million, due July 11, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026). The activity indicates robust, ongoing demand for food service procurement among educational and institutional buyers, though the code's technical applicability to organic melon purees remains unsubstantiated by the sourced opportunities.
