UNSPSC 50374615: Canned or jarred organic ein d'or melons

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

UNSPSC 50374615, Canned or jarred organic ein d'or melons, is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show the code is applied to a broader range of canned fruit items than the specific melon category the code name suggests. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state departments, school districts, and independent school systems are the primary issuing bodies. The work being solicited spans canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, supplemental food and consumables for state facilities, fresh produce, and multi-category grocery items for school nutrition programs and institutional cafeterias. School districts dominate the recent activity, with procurement offices at Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia all posting opportunities. State facilities and departments also feature prominently: Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and State of Georgia have posted multiple solicitations under this code or closely related commodity categories.

Recent opportunities span the country with notable concentration in the South and Southwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce with a due date of July 31, 2026, requesting 4,760 cases at the historical price of $21.84 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a due date of July 13, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 with a due date of July 16, 2026. Douglas County School System in Georgia coordinated a multi-district fresh produce procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, proposals due March 4, 2026. The code also appears applied to broader grocery and food supply solicitations from Texas school districts, Connecticut municipalities, and state agencies, suggesting the taxonomy is sometimes used as a catch-all for institutional food procurement even when specific items fall outside the canned-melon scope.
