UNSPSC 50374643: Canned or jarred organic red goblin melons

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

UNSPSC 50374643 Canned or jarred organic red goblin melons is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable, packaged produce items delivered to institutional food-service operations—schools, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and county government programs. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local agencies buying bulk canned and jarred fruits, vegetables, and specialty produce items as part of broader food-supply contracts spanning dozens or hundreds of line items per bid. The issuing bodies are diverse: school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs and correctional and human-services facilities drive the largest volume of activity under this code.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and the Southeast. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (response deadline October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 ITB for approximately 1,904 cases of canned applesauce delivered to its Salem distribution center (bid closing June 2, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and canned produce for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (response deadline March 19, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear frequently in school-district and state procurements. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5 percent for Oregon-based vendors), and Connecticut enforces MBE/CBE certifications under municipal ordinance. Contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods.
