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

UNSPSC 50374661 Canned or jarred organic yellow baby watermelon is a Commodity code that in practice describes shelf-stable packaged food products for institutional food service and nutrition programs, though the recent solicitation activity shows little direct demand for the specific product named in the code itself. State and local governments soliciting under this code span county human services departments, state corrections and health departments, school districts, and municipal boards of education. The mix of issuing bodies reflects institutional food procurement across social services, criminal justice, public health, and K–12 education; Gwinnett County (Georgia), the State of Illinois, the State of Oregon, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission are repeat buyers in the recent record. The actual work being solicited includes bulk purchases of canned and jarred produce, applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit products, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumable food service supplies delivered to central distribution centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, schools, and senior services centers on fixed-price or adjustable-price contracts, often with firm delivery timelines and USDA compliance requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with solicitations issued across the past five months. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026, via informal written quote; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly solicitations with August and June due dates); the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under ITB with an award to Robbins Sales and a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years, due March 19, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's commodity procurement covering 115 line items with MBE/CBE eligibility (due June 26, 2026). Contract terms typically run one to two years with renewal options, pricing is firm-fixed or adjustable within stated limits (often tied to Consumer Price Index or manufacturer price lists), and delivery is FOB destination with prepaid freight. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear in school district and USDA-funded procurements.
