UNSPSC 50374616: Canned or jarred organic fiesta melons

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

UNSPSC 50374616 Canned or jarred organic fiesta melons (Commodity) appears in a narrow slice of state and local food service procurement activity, primarily when school nutrition programs, state institutions, and county social service agencies specify canned or jarred melons alongside broader fresh-produce or commodity-foods acquisitions. Recent opportunities show the code bundled within large, multi-item food solicitations rather than sourced as a standalone line item—school districts, county boards of education, state corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies regularly issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for shelf-stable canned and jarred produce, but melon products appear as one line among dozens of proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and staples. When melons do surface, they compete for volume against fresh produce procurement and frozen specialty items. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education and social services (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), city school nutrition programs (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and state prison systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut show the most recent activity.

Representative opportunities grounding this code include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food including canned vegetables, with delivery required by December 7, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (August 2026 and June 2026 postings); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (July 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products across multiple HHSC facilities (June 2026). These solicitations employ sealed-bid or RFP methods with response windows of 10–30 days, firm-fixed pricing requirements, FOB Destination delivery terms, and Buy American provisions where federal school nutrition funds apply. Historical pricing for canned fruit products from Oregon corrections procurement ran $21.84 per case as of June 2026. No recent standalone acquisitions of canned or jarred organic fiesta melons specifically are evident in the source material; the code appears underutilized or bundled so tightly within multi-item commodity awards that individual melon SKUs do not surface as decision-level bid items.
