UNSPSC 50374609: Canned or jarred organic charentais melons

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

UNSPSC 50374609 Canned or jarred organic charentais melons (Commodity) shows activity misaligned with the code's stated scope. Recent state and local opportunities soliciting under this code actually procure mainstream canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, frozen specialty foods, dairy products, and general food service supplies rather than organic charentais melons specifically. The code appears to function as a catch-all for canned and processed fruit products in state and local nutrition and food service procurement rather than a narrow commodity designator. Issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), city governments (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and county boards of education (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Douglas County). School districts and state institutional food service operations dominate the recent solicitation pattern, with multiple requests for kitchen and nutrition center supply spanning both processed and fresh product categories.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with school-year contracting cycles driving summer 2026 bid deadlines. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case delivered to Salem in five truckloads; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for over 200 fresh produce line items delivered to three school locations across the 2026-27 school year. Buy American and domestic content preferences apply across most school nutrition procurements; Oregon state and resident bidder preferences appear in ODOC solicitations. Pricing is typically firm fixed for the contract term, with quarterly or annual renewal options common.
