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) encompasses shelf-stable organic melon products in canned or jarred form that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations, though the recent solicitation activity shows this specific code applied to a general food and consumables procurement that includes multiple product categories beyond melons alone. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, state agencies, school districts, and municipal purchasing offices, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Austin Independent School District representing recent activity. Work being solicited includes general food and consumables purchasing for institutional food service—nutrition programs for senior services, state veterans homes, correctional facilities, state hospitals and supported living centers, and school nutrition centers—where canned and jarred fruits are one line item among dozens of shelf-stable and refrigerated products.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast, Midwest, and West Coast. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for fiscal year 2027 (July through December 2026) under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, with proposals due in June and August 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate invitations to bid (ITBs) for canned applesauce in May and July 2026 (approximately 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively) with a historical price around $21.84 per case, applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon fabrication and headquarters location. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 due July 16, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a large supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years.
