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) describes specialty preserved melons, but state and local government procurement activity under this code shows little connection to the nominal scope—the recent opportunities span general food and consumable products for schools, corrections facilities, health and human services centers, and county nutrition programs, encompassing proteins, dairy, produce, canned goods, and prepared foods rather than specifically organic Charentais melon products. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food commodities include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Austin Independent School District, Texas), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), county commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). These jurisdictions procure food items on rolling, seasonal, or annual cycles—typically through IFB, RFP, or informal written quote processes—to supply institutional food service across school lunch programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and senior services.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years); the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 ITB for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,904 cases, with a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200-plus line items for the 2026–27 school year; and the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 commodities procurement for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (115 line items, Buy American provisions required). Pricing is typically firm-fixed for the contract term with adjustments limited to CPI or major market changes, delivery is FOB Destination prepaid by vendors, and awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria. This code shows minimal recent state and local procurement specifically for canned organic Charentais melons; the tagged opportunities reflect generic food commodity procurement that spans many product types.
