UNSPSC 50374659: Canned or jarred organic tiger baby melons

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

UNSPSC 50374659 Canned or jarred organic tiger baby melons (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently solicited under this code. The recent opportunities posted show no relevant purchases of organic tiger baby melons. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code describe broad food-service procurement for institutional buyers—school districts, county social services, state corrections and health facilities, and municipal boards of education—acquiring shelf-stable and fresh produce categories including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus), and general food commodities. The mismatch between the nominal code scope and recent activity signals that this Commodity code either receives minimal or miscategorized usage in the state and local market.

The issuing bodies active in recent food-service procurement span multiple jurisdiction types: school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies and departments (State of Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county boards (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport). Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Connecticut, and multi-state operations. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (115+ line items, due June 26, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), and Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, historical value $4.5 million over three years). These solicitations typically use IFB, RFP, or IWQ (informal written quote) methods with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance requirements including Buy American provisions and liability insurance minimums of $1 million.
