UNSPSC 50374608: Canned or jarred organic cavaillon melons

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

UNSPSC 50374608 Canned or jarred organic cavaillon melons, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope; the recent opportunities tagged to this code show little relevance to organic cavaillon melons specifically. Instead, state and local procurement under this code family encompasses canned and jarred preserved fruits more broadly—canned applesauce, canned pears, and similar shelf-stable fruit products used primarily in school nutrition programs, institutional food service at corrections facilities and state supported living centers, and child nutrition operations. Scope reflects demand for products meeting USDA commodity specifications, packaged in juice or light syrup with minimum one-year shelf life, delivered on FOB destination terms with firm fixed pricing per unit. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, school districts, state health and human services commissions, and county boards of education. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with standout repeat buyers including the Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple Georgia school systems.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period spend of $1.5 million). School nutrition activity appears scattered across multiple states—Hancock County Schools in Georgia (fresh produce RFP, June 2026), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut (multi-category commodity bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System in Georgia (fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, with estimated spend of $4.4 million to $1.1 million across two areas). The code itself generates modest volume—individual opportunities range from 1,904 to 4,760 cases of canned fruit—and no recent solicitations explicitly name organic cavaillon melons, suggesting either narrow commodity demand or misalignment between the code assignment and actual procurement activity in this category.
