UNSPSC 50374613: Canned or jarred organic dixie lee melons

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

UNSPSC 50374613 Canned or jarred organic dixie lee melons (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under state and local procurement activity; the code's nominal scope bears little connection to recent opportunities. The recent-opportunities block contains thirteen solicitations tagged with this code, yet none target canned or jarred melons. Instead, the block shows a broad mix of food-service procurement: canned applesauce from the Oregon Department of Corrections, dried fruit bars and apple crisps from Austin Independent School District, quarterly food orders from the State of Illinois, supplemental food and consumables from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, fresh produce from multiple school districts, and main-line food-distribution services from Douglas County School System. This commodity code appears to be a data-quality issue—the actual state and local procurement activity spans general food service, produce, proteins, dairy, grains, consumables, and food-service distribution across departments of corrections, education, health and human services, and school nutrition programs.

The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million annually), Hancock County Schools IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026). The code's application to this work appears miscoded; firms pursuing state and local food-service contracts should verify the appropriate UNSPSC classification before responding.
