UNSPSC 50473905: Canned or jarred organic fuzzy/hairy melon

The variety of organic gourds known as organic fuzzy/hairy melon that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473905 Canned or jarred organic fuzzy/hairy melon is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its narrow product scope. The recent opportunities tied to this code do not reflect procurement of canned or jarred organic fuzzy or hairy melon specifically; instead, they document broad food and consumables solicitations that include canned vegetables, shelf-stable proteins, and prepared foods for state facilities, school nutrition programs, and correctional systems. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and the state comptroller's office acting on behalf of state agencies. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's requests for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0016792V2, posted May 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid for school nutrition (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, posted May 4, 2026). These solicitations use IFB and sealed-bid notice types with response windows of two to four weeks, typically requiring firm pricing on line-item bases, compliance with USDA standards, and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon among the recent sample. Texas Health and Human Services and the Texas Comptroller's office account for multiple concurrent solicitations across state supported living centers and correctional facilities. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County Public Schools, and Gwinnett County) are active in school nutrition procurement. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). Illinois and an unnamed Oregon agency also posted food procurement notices. No recent opportunities document procurement of canned or jarred organic fuzzy or hairy melon as a discrete line item or category, suggesting the code may be assigned broadly to food-service contracts without reflecting actual demand for this specific product in state and local government spending.
