UNSPSC 50493805: Organic fuzzy hairy melon purees

The variety of organic gourds known as organic fuzzy hairy melon which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493805 Organic fuzzy hairy melon purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not solicit organic fuzzy hairy melon purees. Instead, the code appears to have been applied to broad food-supply and food-service procurement solicitations spanning shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, and consumable kitchen supplies for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring bulk food inventories and related supplies to feed residents, students, and populations in state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and senior services programs, with delivery typically required within 7 to 72 hours of order placement and pricing on an FOB Destination basis with freight prepaid. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state comptroller procurement divisions. The mix reflects institutional food service operations across health and human services, criminal justice, education, and county social services.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products for state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with responses due October 23, 2026 (HHS0018082) and July 13, 2026 (HHS0017449, historical value $1.5 million); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse distribution points via IFB 304T-26-300CF with response due May 4, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia sought sealed bids for school nutrition supplies across four locations due June 15, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted a bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B standards due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase history at $13.75 per case.
