UNSPSC 50374638: Canned or jarred organic persian melons

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

UNSPSC 50374638 Canned or jarred organic Persian melons, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity directly matching its nominal scope; state and local jurisdictions are procuring canned and jarred fruit products under this code, but current opportunities reflect broader fruit preserves and shelf-stable food service categories rather than the specific item of organic Persian melon preserves. Recent solicitations by state departments of corrections, school districts, and health agencies focus on canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, supplemental food and consumables, fresh produce, and broad grocery line items where canned fruit represents one component among many. The issuing-body mix spans state executive agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), large school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Rockwood School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education), and county systems (Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District). Procurement methods include ITBs, IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates typically 30 to 60 days from posting.

Geographic spread concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD), Georgia (multiple school districts, GEC cooperative), and Oregon (ODOC), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce with a July 31, 2026 due date (4,760 cases delivered to Salem at approximately $21.84 per case historical pricing, with Oregon goods and resident preferences totaling 10 percent); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with estimated annual value up to $4.5 million over three years; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple fruit varieties with bid opening June 29, 2026. Austin ISD RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026) represents specialty processed-fruit procurement typical of school nutrition programs. Most solicitations require Buy American or domestic-content provisions, firm fixed pricing for contract periods, general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million, and compliance with USDA commodity standards and food safety certifications. The code shows consistent demand from institutional food service operations but minimal evidence of procurement activity targeting the specific Commodity of canned or jarred organic Persian melons as a standalone item.
