UNSPSC 50364621: Canned or jarred icebox melons

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

UNSPSC 50364621 Canned or jarred icebox melons is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—a Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables statewide—does not include icebox melons or canned melon products in its 210-line-item scope. The broader category of preserved fruit products is actively solicited across multiple states and issuing bodies (state departments, school districts, county school systems, and municipal nutrition programs), but recent opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad food-service baskets rather than canned or jarred melons specifically.

State and local food-service procurement under related preserved-fruit and produce codes is concentrated among school districts and state institutional-support agencies across the South and upper Midwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response date) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, with a 10 percent Oregon goods and bidder-location preference and historical pricing of $21.84 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, on behalf of state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, solicited supplemental food and consumable products under multiple IFBs (HHS0016792 and successor HHS0017449, with response dates in February and July 2026, respectively) covering 210 line items across fresh, frozen, and canned goods with an estimated $1.5 million historical annual value. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia dominate recent produce and grocery procurement through IFBs and RFPs with responses due between March and July 2026, typically on firm fixed-price, FOB-destination terms with Buy American compliance and 90-day payment cycles. The lack of recent icebox-melon-specific solicitations suggests this Commodity code represents a narrow, low-volume segment within broader preserved-fruit and food-service categories.
