UNSPSC 50564550: Non GMO spanish melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50564550 Non GMO spanish melon purees, a Commodity code, addresses processed fruit products that state and local governments purchase for food service operations—though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct procurement of melon purees specifically. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are actively buying shelf-stable food products, canned fruits, dried fruit items, and fresh produce for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, senior services, and board-of-education nutrition programs. The work being solicited spans ready-to-eat food items (applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps), commodity-grade canned and frozen products meeting USDA specifications, and fresh produce with detailed case-size and variety specifications. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), counties (Gwinnett County), and cities (City of Bridgeport). Most solicitations are IFB or ITB notice types with firm, fixed unit-rate pricing and FOB Destination delivery terms; awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value vendor.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 RFP for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (per USDA 2011 commodity specifications) due July 31, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Delivery windows typically range from 45 to 72 hours after order receipt, with many contracts running one to two years with optional renewals. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements (51 percent for processed items) appear frequently, and most solicitations require general commercial liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence.
