UNSPSC 50374634: Canned or jarred organic ogen melons

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

UNSPSC 50374634 Canned or jarred organic ogen melons (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The solicitation records show food service purchases for schools, correctional facilities, and state health agencies, but none target organic melons specifically—instead, the opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, dairy, and mixed grocery items. Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on July 10, 2026, for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31) with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a combined 10% preference for Oregon-sourced and Oregon-based bidders; Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide in multiple rounds, with one IFB HHS0016792 posted in February 2026 covering 210 line items across bread, frozen foods, gluten-free products, and consumable supplies; and Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB in June 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, melons, citrus, and leafy greens for the 2026–27 school year, due June 26. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity—procurement activity classified under this code is being driven by broader food-service needs across school nutrition programs, state corrections, and state health facilities rather than by demand for canned organic melons as a discrete product category.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with the highest density in school district nutrition procurements across Texas and Georgia. State corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Dallas ISD, Douglas County) dominate the issuing bodies. The Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables statewide represents the largest estimated opportunity, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP (issued January 21, 2026, due February 18) carries an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million across 32 schools. Canned melon products do not appear as line items in any of the representative solicitations, and the code taxonomy itself appears misaligned with actual procurement patterns under this classification.
