UNSPSC 50364641: Canned or jarred pineapple melons

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

UNSPSC 50364641 Canned or jarred pineapple melons is a Commodity code representing a narrow product category within food service procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show the code applied primarily to canned fruit products—notably applesauce and supplemental foods for state institutions and school districts—rather than pineapple or melons specifically. State and local buyers under this code span Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Dallas ISD, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham), Georgia school nutrition programs, and Connecticut board of education nutrition centers. The work solicited ranges from small truckload contracts for institutional applesauce (ODOC's 4,760-case annual procurement) to large statewide food service supply agreements for state hospitals and supported living centers covering 210+ line items. Issuers include state departments of corrections and health services, county and independent school districts, and centralized school nutrition programs, with school districts representing the dominant buyer category.

The code sees active procurement in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri during the first half of 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017453 (Fruit Applesauce) posted July 10, 2026, with bids due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce for delivery to Salem warehouse on FOB destination basis with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (Food and Consumable Products) posted June 11, 2026, with bids due July 11, 2026 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and DSHS covering food service items under a $1.5 million historical annual budget with options through 2028; and multiple school district grocery and produce contracts (Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323, Rockwood R-VI's dual grocery solicitations, Liberty County and Hancock County school boards' food procurement) emphasizing Buy American compliance, firm fixed pricing for 12-month terms, and weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple school sites. These procurement vehicles typically require responsive bidders to maintain liability insurance between $1 million and $2 million per occurrence, comply with USDA commodity specifications and nutritional standards, and submit pricing through electronic bid portals or state procurement systems.
