UNSPSC 50564501: Non GMO allsweet melon purees

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO allsweet melons which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50564501 Non GMO allsweet melon purees is a Commodity code covering canned and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The opportunities solicited under this classification reflect a much broader institutional food procurement category spanning canned fruits, applesauce, fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, and miscellaneous food service supplies for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services operations, and state agencies. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County), county school systems (Douglas County, Georgia), municipal departments (City of Bridgeport), and cooperative purchasing groups (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). A pattern of repeat state-level institutional buyers emerges: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears multiple times with large statewide food supply bids; Oregon Department of Corrections solicits canned applesauce regularly; and Georgia school systems (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) conduct annual food procurement across fresh produce, eggs, and packaged goods.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest. Georgia school districts account for a substantial share of recent postings (Douglas County RFPs in January–February 2026, Liberty County IFB in March, Muscogee County ITB in March, Savannah-Chatham Bid 26-34 in March, Hancock County IFB in June). Texas agencies drove significant volume (HHSC supplemental food procurements in February and May 2026 with a potential maximum value of $4.5 million over three years; TDCJ cafeteria food products in May 2026; DISD RFP in February 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued applesauce bids in May and July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, responses due February 23, 2026, maximum contract value $4.5 million); the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution (approximately 32,000 meals daily, estimated annual expenditure $9 million, proposals due February 18, 2026); and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (sealed bids due April 27, 2026). Buy American and domestic-content requirements are standard across school nutrition procurements; Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, and Georgia school districts all apply firm fixed pricing with restricted midterm adjustment provisions tied to documented manufacturer price increases or CPI-based formulas.
