UNSPSC 50374617: Canned or jarred organic galia melons

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

UNSPSC 50374617 Canned or jarred organic galia melons is a Commodity code for specialty processed fruit products in shelf-stable form. State and local governments buy canned and jarred fruit items under this code as part of broader food-service procurement, typically as line items within larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone dedicated buys. The code shows little recent activity directly tied to galia melons specifically; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect general canned-fruit purchasing by state agencies, county nutrition programs, school districts, correctional facilities, and other state-supported institutions supplying meals to residents or incarcerated populations.

Recent opportunities soliciting under or near this code span state departments, county boards of education, independent school districts, and state-operated facilities across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases and 1,904 cases respectively) in May and July 2026 with historical pricing around $21.83 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned fruit as part of a $4,500,000 maximum-value contract serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a March 19, 2026 deadline. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for senior services on October 19, 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia sought fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 bid due date.
