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 (Commodity) shows minimal direct relevant recent activity; the code's narrow scope—organic cavaillon melons specifically—does not align with the broader shelf-stable produce and food-service procurements that state and local buyers are actually conducting under related food-supply codes. The recent opportunities posted under this and nearby commodity classifications reflect large institutional food-service purchasing across multiple issuing bodies including state corrections and health departments, county boards of education, school districts, and municipal education procurement offices. These buyers source shelf-stable canned and fresh produce in volume—canned applesauce by cases (Oregon Department of Corrections and others), dried fruit bars (Austin Independent School District), fresh produce across multiple varieties (Hancock County Board of Education), and broad commodity food baskets (Gwinnett County, Texas HHSC, Bridgeport Board of Education). The work involves competitive sealed bidding (ITB, IFB, RFP) with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and Buy American provisions, and multi-line-item awards to single or multiple vendors based on best value.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West, with recent solicitations from Oregon (Department of Corrections, multiple applesauce ITBs), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy, weekly food orders), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). The representative opportunities—Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases, historical award $21.84 per case), Gwinnett County informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026, F.O.B. destination to Lawrenceville, Georgia), and Texas HHSC/DSHS supplemental food and consumables IFB HHS0016792V2 (bid deadline March 19, 2026, maximum three-year value $4.5 million across state hospitals and supported living centers)—show that institutional food sourcing is active and ongoing, but the specific organic cavaillon melon category itself does not surface in recent state and local contract notices. Canned applesauce and generic canned produce appear regularly; organic-specific or variety-specific fruit items do not appear in the opportunities reviewed.
