UNSPSC 50564500: Non GMO melon purees

The type of non GMO melons known as non GMO melons which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50564500 Non GMO melon purees, a Class code, reflects what state and local governments are actually buying under this category: shelf-stable and fresh produce items for institutional food service, not melon purees specifically. Recent solicitations show school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and municipal boards of education purchasing diverse fresh and processed produce — fresh melons, berries, apples, root vegetables, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and commodity food products for cafeterias, nutrition centers, senior services, and correctional facilities. The code encompasses both fresh-produce contracts with seasonal variety and long-shelf-life canned and dried fruit items, with delivery structured to institutional warehouses and food-service distribution points. Issuing bodies are predominantly county boards of education and state agencies (corrections, health and human services), with occasional city departments of education.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with scattered additional solicitations across other states. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District issuing an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years and a due date of March 19, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. Delivery is typically FOB Destination with pricing fixed for the contract period, and Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear in school-lunch-related solicitations.
