UNSPSC 50364633: Canned or jarred moon and stars watermelon

The variety of melons known as moon and stars watermelon that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364633 Canned or jarred moon and stars watermelon is a Commodity code representing a single product line within broader food procurement by state and local governments. However, recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect purchasing of the watermelon variety specified; instead, issuing bodies are procuring shelf-stable and fresh food products across multiple categories—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, proteins, frozen specialty items, condiments, and consumable supplies—for nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and school districts. The code's nominal scope and actual buying activity show material misalignment. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin, Texas), municipal health and human services agencies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas HHSC state-supported living centers). No single jurisdiction appears as a repeat buyer in the recent window.

Geographic activity spans Oregon (two ODOC applesauce ITBs, May and July 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County fresh food IWQ and state food-supplies bid, May and October 2026), Illinois (three Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food RFPs, June and August 2026), Texas (HHSC El Paso facility IFB, TDCJ cafeteria IFB, HHSC supplemental food IFB, May 2026), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education commodities IFB, June 2026), and Austin Independent School District (dried fruit RFP, June 2026). Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) with October 19 deadline; Austin ISD's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16; and Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31 at a historical price of $21.84 per case. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal watermelon specification; procurement under this designation targets generalist food-supply categories, not branded watermelon products.
