UNSPSC 50374655: Canned or jarred organic sugar baby watermelon

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

UNSPSC 50374655 Canned or jarred organic sugar baby watermelon is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices use to classify shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show minimal activity directly matching this specific item. Instead, the code's recent activity centers on broader canned and jarred fruit categories—applesauce, mixed fruit, and general shelf-stable produce—procured by state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, school districts, and county nutrition programs. State and local buyers are predominantly institutional food-service operations: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state-supported living centers, county school nutrition programs, and board-of-education cafeteria services. These are high-volume, recurring purchases integrated into annual or multi-year food supply contracts. Issuing bodies span state agencies and school districts across multiple jurisdictions, with no single repeat buyer dominating the code's recent activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The most recent and representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026, with a historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to serve the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other DSHS facilities (proposals due July 13, 2026, with a prior period value of $1.5 million), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (extended due date May 4, 2026), and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (quotes due October 19, 2026). Buyers enforce USDA commodity or grade standards, require FOB destination delivery, and typically award based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value; most institutional contracts run one year with optional renewals. The code shows steady institutional demand but no recent solicitations explicitly naming organic sugar baby watermelon as a line item.
