UNSPSC 50564513 Non GMO dixie lee melon purees is a Commodity code. State and local food service operations—school districts, county nutrition centers, state correctional and health facilities, and senior services programs—procure canned and fresh fruit products under this code for institutional meal programs. Recent opportunities show that while the code nominally describes a specific branded product (dixie lee melon purees), the actual solicitations posted under it span a much broader range of fruit and produce items. Buyers are actively purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh produce including apples, berries, melons, and citrus, and supplemental food and consumable products. The issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia), county senior services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies and supported living centers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Texas), and municipal school nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut). Most opportunities are managed through sealed-bid or IFB processes, with a small number using RFP methods. Contracts typically run 12 months with optional renewal periods, firm fixed pricing, and FOB Destination delivery requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, particularly Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oregon, with additional procurement from Connecticut. Representative current opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bid response due July 31, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers with a historical annual value of $1.5 million (proposals due July 11, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (proposals due July 16, 2026).
