UNSPSC 50394760: Organic tuscan type melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50394760 Organic tuscan type melon purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and fresh fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent sourcing activity shows limited direct alignment with the code's nominal organic melon-puree scope. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city nutrition programs, and specialized state-operated facilities such as veterans homes and supported living centers. Fruit procurement under the broader family typically includes canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce varieties, and mixed food commodity bundles rather than specialized melon purees; recent opportunities reflect routine purchasing of apples, berries, citrus, and miscellaneous produce alongside shelf-stable proteins, dairy, and packaged staples delivered on fixed contracts or cooperative quarterly agreements.

Geographic concentration is scattered across the South and West, with recent activity in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing two separate ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,700 cases per procurement, due June 2 and July 31, 2026, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting supplemental food and consumables including fresh and frozen fruits across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2, originally due March 19, 2026, with a potential three-year value up to $4.5 million); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requesting shelf-stable food including canned items via informal written quotes (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia soliciting over 200 line items of fresh produce ranging from apples and berries to melons and specialty fruits for school year 2026–27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (due August 24 and June 17, 2026). Recent state and local activity reflects routine institutional food procurement rather than specialized sourcing aligned directly to the code's organic melon-puree designation.
