UNSPSC 50364632: Canned or jarred mirage melons

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

UNSPSC 50364632 Canned or jarred mirage melons, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity focused on canned fruit products for institutional food service—particularly canned applesauce and supplemental food supplies for correctional facilities, state hospitals, and school nutrition programs. The solicitations tagged to this code diverge substantially from the nominal scope: recent opportunities center on dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad food supply contracts rather than mirage melons specifically. State and local issuing bodies pursuing canned and jarred fruit procurements span correctional departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and county boards of education across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) with historical unit pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case and delivery to central distribution in Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) encompassing 210 line items of frozen, dried, canned, and fresh products with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; and school districts in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri have solicited fresh produce, dried fruit items, and broad grocery supplies under IFBs and RFPs with delivery to school nutrition facilities and warehouses.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), South (Texas, Georgia), and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), with Texas and Georgia school districts conducting the highest volume of recent food service procurement. Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, liability insurance thresholds of $1 million or higher, firm fixed pricing structures, and delivery on FOB destination or destination-prepaid terms appear consistently across recent opportunities. No set-asides or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises appear in recent postings; however, the Oregon Department of Corrections applies a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The code shows limited activity directly aligned with mirage melon sourcing; recent state and local procurement under this classification emphasizes applesauce, broader canned fruit, and supplemental food supplies for institutional food service rather than specialty melon products.
