UNSPSC 50564515: Non GMO ein d'or melon purees

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO ein d'or melons which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50564515 Non GMO ein d'or melon purees, a Commodity code, rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific processed-fruit product line, yet state and local governments soliciting under this taxonomy are actually procuring broad shelf-stable food and fresh produce categories — from canned applesauce and dried fruit bars to fresh melons, berries, and root vegetables for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and county nutrition programs. The work spans food-service supply contracts for institutional buyers: school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and municipal nutrition centers. Issuing bodies are diverse and geographically dispersed, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity. Scope typically encompasses multiple line items under a single award, with delivery to centralized warehouses or food-service facilities, firm fixed pricing per unit of measure, compliance with USDA commodity or food-safety standards, and delivery windows ranging from 45 to 72 hours after order.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with activity also in Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a 10 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-or-equal proposal for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, due August 24, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services (due July 13, 2026) represents a larger-scale institutional procurement with a prior period value of $1.5 million. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple varieties (due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations). Most solicitations employ IFB, RFQ, or RFP methods; Buy American and domestic-sourcing provisions appear frequently; and awards are typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria, with single or multiple-vendor splits permitted at the issuing body's discretion.
