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 (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity under its code number. The recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food-service procurement—none of which are fiesta melon purees or melons of any kind. The source block does reference melons once, within Hancock County Schools' broader fresh-produce solicitation that names multiple melon varieties alongside apples, berries, and other items, but melons represent a single line item within a 200+ item catalog, not the focus of the procurement. The tagging of these diverse food procurements under a single Commodity code designed for a specific product type suggests either cataloging inconsistency or that the code serves as a catch-all for fruit-based food products in state and local systems.

Issuing bodies soliciting food products show a pronounced concentration among school districts and state health and human services agencies. School districts—including Hancock County (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Liberty County (Georgia), Muscogee County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas)—account for the majority of recent opportunities. State procurement bodies such as the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Illinois Chief Procurement Office appear repeatedly. Activity concentrates geographically in the South and Southwest—Georgia, Texas, and Missouri dominate—with secondary activity in Oregon, Virginia, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (approximately 4,760 cases), Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (200+ line items, June 26, 2026 bid due date), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution services for 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. These solicitations uniformly specify firm pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with Buy American and USDA standards, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options.
