UNSPSC 50364640: Canned or jarred piel de sapo melons

The variety of melons known as piel de sapo melons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364640 Canned or jarred piel de sapo melons is a Commodity code that in practice reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service — school cafeterias, correctional facilities, state hospitals, senior services centers, and other public-sector food operations. The code's nominal scope does not match the recent solicitation activity; while the code name specifies piel de sapo melons specifically, state and local issuing bodies have posted opportunities in this taxonomy family for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broad commodity food procurement spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories. Issuing bodies across the code include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for criminal justice supply), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia), and city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The sourcing pattern reflects routine institutional food-service contracting rather than specialty produce procurement.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and West, with recent opportunities posted by Oregon (Department of Corrections, two separate applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County in October 2026, Hancock County Board of Education in June 2026, State of Georgia in May 2026), Texas (Austin ISD in June 2026, HHSC El Paso facility and statewide supplemental procurement in June and May 2026, TDCJ cafeteria foods in May 2026), Illinois (Chicago-area veterans home weekly food orders, June and August 2026), and Connecticut (Bridgeport in June 2026). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces due October 19, 2026 with delivery to the Senior Services Center; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce to Central Distribution in Salem, bid due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; and Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables IFB in May 2026 covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned products statewide with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million.
