UNSPSC 50564549: Non GMO sharlyn melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50564549 Non GMO sharlyn melon purees is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — non-GMO sharlyn melon purees specifically — does not match the work actually being solicited under it in the recent opportunities block. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are buying canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), eggs, and broader categories of food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and institutional food service operations. The code appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy marker for miscellaneous fruit and vegetable products rather than a precise descriptor of what is being procured.

School districts dominate the recent activity — Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) — alongside state agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia (multiple school districts across recent solicitations) and Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD), with secondary activity in Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood), Virginia (Fairfax), Illinois (state CPO), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products due April 27, 2026, covering delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (approximately $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two) due March 4, 2026. Most school district solicitations use IFB or RFP methods with annual contract terms running July 1 through June 30, Buy American compliance requirements, firm fixed pricing, and delivery to multiple school sites.
