UNSPSC 50364648: Canned or jarred santa claus melons

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

UNSPSC 50364648 Canned or jarred santa claus melons (Commodity) does not align with the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code span canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service supply — none matching the nominal scope of canned or jarred santa claus melons. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being applied to general canned/jarred fruit and preserved produce without regard to the specific melon type the code names. The code shows no recent activity aligned to its stated commodity.

The issuing bodies sourcing under this code code's recent opportunities are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System, Dallas ISD) and state-level institutions (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), reflecting broad food service demand across K-12 nutrition programs and institutional feeding. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; Austin ISD RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products with historical values near $1.5 million annually. Most solicitations use IFB or RFP methods with firm-fixed pricing, buy American requirements where applicable, and delivery to central warehouses or distributed school sites.
