UNSPSC 50403400: Cucumbers

The type of vegetable known as cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403400 Cucumbers, a Class code, encompasses fresh and processed cucumber supply to state institutions, school districts, municipal facilities, and correctional systems. State and local governments procure cucumbers as line items within broader fresh-produce and food-service contracts, typically bundled with other vegetables, fruits, and kitchen supplies for cafeteria operations, institutional dining, and senior-center programming. Recent solicitations show cucumbers specified among mixed fresh-produce deliveries rather than as standalone procurements, with quantities and delivery frequencies determined by institutional meal-planning needs rather than commodity-specific demand signals.

Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Illinois, and Texas dominate recent activity under this code. The TDCJ has issued multiple produce solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, and IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, all with October 2026 response dates) that include cucumbers within broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable scopes; the Illinois Department of Corrections issued an RFQ (27426DOCJOLIEB53849) for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center due September 3, 2026, specifying cucumbers among bi-weekly delivery items; and school districts in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County) have posted produce bids for the 2026–2027 school year due between May and June 2026, each listing cucumbers as a line item within 30–40 produce categories. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures food-service consumables for state-supported living centers (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017799 and HHS0017798 for Mexia and Lufkin facilities due August 25, 2026), though recent notices emphasize prepared foods and supplies rather than fresh produce specifically. Collier County, Florida (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025) and Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) specify fresh-produce requirements with locational sourcing preferences but do not flag cucumbers as a standalone contract driver. Geographic concentration spans Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with scattered activity in Florida and Wisconsin; Texas correctional and health-and-human-services agencies represent the most frequent repeat buyers.
