UNSPSC 50564555: Non GMO sugar baby watermelon purees

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO sugar baby watermelon which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50564555 Non GMO sugar baby watermelon purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific processed-fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities indexed under this code show minimal relevance to watermelon purees specifically. Instead, the code appears to be tagged across a broad range of food and consumable procurement activity spanning shelf-stable products (canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps), fresh produce (apples, berries, melons, leafy greens), proteins, dairy, and bulk cafeteria staples. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and specialized facilities (Texas state hospitals and supported living centers). The recent opportunities reflect food service procurement for institutional feeding—schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and health facilities—rather than the branded watermelon-puree product the code nominally describes.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with notable recent concentration in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, covering peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and canned vegetables; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's RFP for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December 2026, due August 24, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026 with bids due June 2 and July 31, 2026, respectively, specifying USDA 2011 commodity specifications and offering combined 10 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. The code's use as a catch-all for diverse institutional food procurement suggests misalignment between the taxonomy label and actual purchasing practice.
