UNSPSC 50374636: Canned or jarred organic peacock melons

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

UNSPSC 50374636 Canned or jarred organic peacock melons is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for general food supply to schools, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers, though the recent opportunities block shows little purchasing activity specifically for organic peacock melons themselves. The actual work being solicited encompasses broad-based food service procurement—shelf-stable and frozen food items, fresh produce, canned fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy, and consumables—rather than the narrow product category the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, senior services departments, and municipal education boards. The State of Illinois has solicited multiple times under this general food-service space, as have the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and several county and city school nutrition programs.

Recent opportunities posted from May through October 2026 show activity concentrated in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,904 cases in May 2026 due June 2; approximately 4,760 cases in July 2026 due July 31), with a historical price of $21.82–$21.84 per case awarded to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales respectively. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants in June and August 2026, proposals due June 17 and August 24). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two large IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (March 2026, maximum value $4.5 million over three years) and food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center (June 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items in October 2026 (IWQ 140229, due October 19), and Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP in June 2026 (due July 16). The code shows no recent procurements specific to organic peacock melons—the narrow product scope of the code itself does not align with the broad food-service purchasing activity the code captures in practice.
