UNSPSC 50486813: Bittermelon purees

The type of vegetable known as bittermelon which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486813 Bittermelon purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no recent solicitations for bittermelon purees specifically. The fourteen opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span general food procurement for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and state supported living centers—covering canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-based food supply and distribution contracts. None of these solicitations name bittermelon purees as a line item or required product. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual buying patterns reflected in recent state and local opportunities under this classification, suggesting either sparse demand, misclassification in procurement systems, or purchasing through general food commodity aggregates rather than specialty produce categories.

State and local buyers issuing food-related solicitations during this period span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). The geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's request for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, responses due July 2026, prior contract value $1.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 procurement for 45 schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes solicitation (ITB S2910000017145, approximately 7,616 cases, due June 2026). No recent opportunities specifically reference bittermelon purees, indicating the code warrants a watch-and-skip posture pending clearer procurement signals.
