UNSPSC 50403404: Bianco lungo di parigi cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as bianco lungo di parigi cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403404 Bianco lungo di parigi cucumbers, a Commodity code, spans what state and local governments actually buy under this classification: fresh produce for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and institutional food service operations, sourced and delivered on regular schedules with traceability, food safety, and quality specifications. The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward school districts and school nutrition programs—including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), and multiple county boards of education across Georgia—with secondary activity from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for bulk vegetable procurement and Head Start child care providers. State procurement agencies in Georgia and Texas round out the participant mix. The code reflects a consistent pattern: school districts and institutional food service buyers post sealed IFBs and RFPs requiring weekly or scheduled deliveries of fresh produce in bulk or pre-cut form, compliance with USDA Buy American and food safety standards including HACCP and traceability documentation, liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2 million range, and competitive pricing often indexed to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service market reports or terminal wholesale prices.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary opportunities in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 117 school campuses five days weekly at $35 per unit pricing structure with a contract term July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 plus two renewal options; Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles, with 5,900 weekly servings due July 29, 2026, and a contract period September 1–November 30, 2026 with cost weighted at 40 percent and geographic preference at 15 percent in evaluation; Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts across two regions with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending, proposals due March 4, 2026; and Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia) sealed bid for fresh produce to 24 school nutrition sites with 40 line items, bids due June 16, 2026 at 11:30 a.m., and contract term July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 with options for two additional one-year renewals. The code shows strong recurring demand from school nutrition programs renewing annual contracts on consistent schedules, with emphasis on local or regional sourcing preferences, food safety compliance, and competitive line-item or cost-plus-fee structures.
