UNSPSC 50564513: Non GMO dixie lee melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50564513 Non GMO Dixie Lee melon purees, a Commodity code, addresses fresh fruit and processed fruit products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The code's nominal name diverges sharply from actual procurement activity. Recent opportunities under this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, berries, melons, leafy greens, citrus), eggs, and broad food service line items for cafeteria and nutrition operations, with minimal melon-puree–specific activity evident. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, county school boards, municipal school systems, and cooperative purchasing networks serving multiple jurisdictions. School districts dominate the activity, particularly through nutrition program contracts supplying 25,000–32,000 daily meals across elementary, middle, and high schools, warehouses, and distribution centers. Texas agencies—the Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, and independent school districts including Dallas ISD and Austin ISD—appear repeatedly as high-volume buyers, alongside Georgia school systems (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Muscogee County), Oregon Department of Corrections, Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Connecticut municipalities.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior-period value $1.5 million, response due July 13, 2026), Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products excluding main commodity bids (school year 2026–2027, response due April 2, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving 25,500 students (estimated annual value $9 million, response due February 18, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026). Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed products) and USDA commodity compliance are standard across school district procurements. State and local preferences for Oregon goods, Texas SmartBuy administrative fees, and cooperative purchasing frameworks through organizations like the GEC Buying Cooperative appear in multiple solicitations. Most contracts run for one school year (July–June) with renewal options extending one to five additional years; pricing is typically firm fixed for the initial term with adjustments permitted only at renewal or upon documented manufacturer price increases exceeding specified thresholds (often 5 percent).
