UNSPSC 50364611: Canned or jarred crenshaw melons

The variety of melons known as crenshaw melons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364611 Canned or jarred crenshaw melons, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities posted against this code over the past five months span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, cafeteria food products, and school nutrition services across multiple states—none of which are crenshaw melons or melons of any kind. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the single exception is Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (June 10, 2026), which includes melons generically among over 200 line items of produce but does not isolate crenshaw melons as a distinct procurement focus.

State and local issuing bodies—school districts, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and county school systems—are using this UNSPSC code to tag food service and nutrition procurement broadly rather than for the specific commodity named. The geographic spread of tagged activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this commodity code may be misapplied in the state and local taxonomy, or it serves as a catch-all placeholder for food service procurement that does not break out to narrower commodity lines. Business development professionals should verify the specific commodity requirement directly from RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs rather than rely on the UNSPSC tag alone when pursuing opportunities under this code.
