UNSPSC 50403402: Armenian cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as armenian cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403402 Armenian cucumbers, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce supply and delivery services to institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and healthcare facilities. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying fresh vegetables—including Armenian cucumbers alongside related produce items such as carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, peppers, and onions—for bi-weekly or weekly delivery to cafeterias, canteens, food warehouses, and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show demand from Texas state agencies (the Department of Criminal Justice and Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia school districts and counties (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Schools), Illinois state institutions (Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center, Department of Mental Health Madden Mental Health Center), Wisconsin school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District), Florida county parks (Collier County), Texas municipalities (City of San Antonio), and federally funded Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission emerge as the most active repeat buyers, with multiple concurrent fresh-produce and food-supply solicitations posted since late June 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (including fresh produce) at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, which solicits produce delivery within seven days of order receipt; the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for fresh produce bi-weekly delivery to Joliet Treatment Center with small-business set-aside, due September 3, 2026; the Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026, with contract term through June 30, 2027 plus four renewal options; and the Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites, due June 16, 2026. School districts typically weight cost at 30–40 percent and quality and service compliance at 20–35 percent; state correctional and health facilities emphasize firm fixed pricing, USDA grade compliance, rapid delivery windows (same-day to seven-day), and strict complaint resolution with cost pass-through for failed inspections. Procurement volumes range from weekly servings of approximately 5,900 units (Madison Metropolitan School District Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program) to estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item at individual state facilities.
