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 that covers shelf-stable fruit purees and processed fruit products purchased by state and local food-service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show a mix of school districts, state agencies, and county governments buying canned and processed fruit items—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and packaged food staples—for nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veteran homes, and senior services. The scope extends beyond the narrow code title to encompass broader food-service procurement: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and processed goods for senior services; Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,904 to 4,760 cases per solicitation) under brand-specific specifications compliant with USDA 2011 commodity standards; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured 210 line items of supplemental fresh, frozen, and packaged food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. School districts including Austin Independent School District (Texas) and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicit dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce for multi-location delivery to central warehouses or school sites. The issuing bodies typically are county boards of education, state corrections and veterans-home authorities, and municipal or state health and human services agencies.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West: Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs (May 2026 and July 2026) for canned applesauce with responses due June 2 and July 31, 2026, both awarded on lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two food and consumables bids (May 2026 and June 2026) serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with responses due March 19 and July 11, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for the fourth quarter of FY-27 (August and June 2026 postings, August 24 and June 17 response dates); and Georgia-based buyers (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia) posted produce and food-supply solicitations in May through October 2026. Connecticut and Texas school nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education, Austin ISD) rounded out recent activity. Buy American provisions apply in most school and certain state procurements, with 51 percent domestic content required for processed products; Oregon preferences for in-state fabrication and resident bidders total 10 percent. Contract values reported include $1.5 million annually for the Texas HHSC El Paso center, $4.5 million over three years for supplemental food statewide, and estimated per-case historical pricing ranging from $21.83 to $21.84 for canned applesauce. Response deadlines cluster in May through October 2026, with delivery typically required within 45–72 hours or within 60 days of order, FOB destination prepaid.
