UNSPSC 50364658: Canned or jarred temptation melons

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

UNSPSC 50364658 Canned or jarred temptation melons is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity; the recent opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases delivered to Salem, Oregon, with bids due July 31, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including fresh and processed items (with proposals due July 13, 2026, and an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and subordinate state health service facilities). Neither opportunity is actually procuring canned or jarred melons; instead, state corrections and health agencies are buying canned fruit, fresh produce, grocery staples, and food service items broadly. The code appears to capture a narrow specialty commodity that does not align with current state and local procurement patterns in the recent-opportunities block.

State and local issuing bodies active in the broader food-service space include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Dallas ISD in Texas, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County and Muscogee County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Hancock County in Georgia, and Austin ISD in Texas), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and other agencies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Recent opportunities in this portfolio span ITB, RFP, and RFQ notice types with response dates ranging from early March through late July 2026, concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut. The actual purchasing emphasis across all recent solicitations is on bulk food commodities, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen items, and consumable supplies—not specialty melons. If pursuing this code, vendors should clarify with issuing bodies whether canned or jarred melons are part of their food-service procurement scope, as the recent record does not support active demand for this specific commodity at the state or local level.
