UNSPSC 50564537: Non GMO pepino melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50564537 Non GMO pepino melon purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of pepino melon purees or related products. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span a broad range of food service commodities purchased by county school districts, state departments, and other public bodies — including canned applesauce, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, supplemental food and consumables for state facilities, and shelf-stable items for senior nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests this code may be misapplied in sourcing systems or that recent opportunities have been miscoded by issuing bodies. Buyers under this code are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans' Benefits, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These entities purchase food through a mix of notice types — ITBs, IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs — with individual opportunities ranging from informal written quotes under $5,000 to comprehensive multi-year contracts with maximum potential values exceeding $4.5 million.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with the highest volume of recent solicitations in Texas and Georgia. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (RFQ, due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office seeking weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal terms (proposals due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales (bids due July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District seeking dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP (due July 16, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services jointly seeking supplemental food and consumables statewide, including 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (bid deadline March 19, 2026, now closed). Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear frequently; prevailing wage compliance, commercial liability insurance minimums of $1 million, and record retention obligations are standard across most solicitations. Pre-bid meetings and addenda are common; payment terms typically run 30 to 45 days post-invoice.
