UNSPSC 50564558: Non GMO temptation melon purees

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

UNSPSC 50564558 Non GMO temptation melon purees is a Commodity code that, despite its narrow title, sits within a broader state and local food procurement ecosystem that actually encompasses general shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional consumption. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reveal a stark mismatch: the code's specification of "Non GMO temptation melon purees" does not appear in any of the posted opportunities. Instead, state and local buyers—including county boards of education, school districts, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and senior services departments—are soliciting canned applesauce, fresh produce (apples, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables), dried fruit bars, protein items, dairy products, bread and bakery goods, condiments, and other shelf-stable and frozen foods for institutional food service. The issuing bodies span a diverse mix: state purchasing divisions (Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin, Texas), state agency facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal purchasing offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Gwinnett County, Georgia). This code shows little relevant recent activity directly aligned with melon purees specifically.

The geographic spread of recent food procurement under this code concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with activity also in scattered secondary markets. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (June 2026, due June 26), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and vegetables (due October 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical price of $21.84 per case (due July 31, 2026). The State of Illinois has issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy. Award decisions typically favor lowest responsive and responsible bidding, with some jurisdictions (Oregon) applying local-preference or Oregon-goods preferences and others (Texas schools, Connecticut) requiring Buy American compliance and MBE/CBE consideration. The code's actual purchasing activity does not align with non-GMO melon purees; vendors should verify specification alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
