UNSPSC 50564516: Non GMO fiesta melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50564516 Non GMO fiesta melon purees, a Commodity code, describes specialty fruit purees and processed fruit products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code tag span a broader range of shelf-stable and fresh produce items than the code name alone suggests. The actual buying activity captured includes canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce assortments, frozen and refrigerated entrees, proteins, dairy, and general food commodities for corrections facilities, veterans homes, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health, state-level chiefs of procurement, county boards of education and commissioners, city purchasing divisions, and independent school districts. The State of Illinois and the State of Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers posting multiple food solicitations within the review window, as does the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Most recent activity clusters around institutional bulk food procurement for state-run facilities, with school nutrition service as a secondary buyer segment.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut in recent solicitations, with Texas and Illinois showing the highest posting frequency. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, with historical award at $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple varieties of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year (sealed bids due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases' IFB BNB053266 for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026). Procurement methods include ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quote processes, with most responses due within two to four weeks of posting and delivery to centralized distribution points or individual facility locations.
