UNSPSC 50374610: Canned or jarred organic charleston gray watermelon

A widely grown african vine (citrullus lanatus syn. C. Vulgaris) of the gourd family that bears a large oblong or roundish fruit with a hard green or white rind often striped or variegated, a sweet watery pink, yellowish, or red pulp, and usually many see that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50374610 Canned or jarred organic charleston gray watermelon is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code purchase generic shelf-stable and fresh food products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria staples including proteins and dairy, and miscellaneous food and consumables for institutional food service—rather than the specific organic watermelon product the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, municipal school districts, state facilities including veterans homes and supported living centers, and county purchasing offices. Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut account for the bulk of recent activity, with additional solicitations from Georgia and Arizona jurisdictions.

The representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September through December 2026 under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications with August 24, 2026 proposal deadlines; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a July 31, 2026 bid deadline and 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids for food and consumables to supply state facilities statewide with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually and the potential for $4.5 million over three years; and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026–27 with a June 26, 2026 deadline and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content. The code shows no signal specific to organic watermelon procurement.
