UNSPSC 50374628: Canned or jarred organic korean melons

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

UNSPSC 50374628 Canned or jarred organic Korean melons is a Commodity code that sees minimal directly relevant recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's abstract title does not align with what state and local governments are actually purchasing under this classification: recent opportunities tagged to this code show procurement of mainstream canned fruit products (applesauce, pears), dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodities—none of which are organic Korean melons or closely related specialty preserve items. The issuing bodies in the recent record span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District), and city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The code shows no concentration among a single repeat buyer; rather, school nutrition programs account for the plurality of tagged opportunities.

The geographic spread of recent activity extends across the South and West, with notable clusters in Georgia (Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County), Texas (Dallas, El Paso), Oregon (statewide ODOC procurement), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), Illinois (statewide), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026, soliciting 4,760 cases with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and a maximum potential contract value of $1.5 million for the initial 12-month term; and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with strict Buy American requirements. The code exhibits broad, generalized food-service procurement activity rather than focused buying of the specialty product its name suggests, signaling a mismatch between taxonomy classification and actual purchasing scope.
