UNSPSC 50403409: Danimas cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as danimas cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403409 Danimas cucumbers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—including cucumbers, along with broader fresh fruits and vegetables—primarily through food service solicitations for institutional dining, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent opportunities show cucumbers appearing as line items within wider fresh-produce contracts issued by state health and human services agencies, departments of criminal justice, school districts, and county parks departments. The work spans supply of fresh vegetables to state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior centers, with cucumbers typically specified alongside other produce such as carrots, onions, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Mental Health and Corrections, Georgia Department of Education), county and regional school nutrition programs, municipal parks and senior services divisions, and special-purpose entities such as Head Start and health coalitions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 (Consumables Foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), which lists fresh vegetables among 22 line items for campus and canteen operations; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice conducting multiple fresh-produce RFPs for food warehouse supply (including IW267376 to Palestine and IW267420 to Snyder, both due October 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh-produce quotes under RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026), specifying cucumbers, onions, peppers, cabbage, and lettuce with bi-weekly delivery and small-business set-aside; and Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing sealed bids for fresh produce covering 40 line items including multiple vegetable varieties (bids due June 16, 2026). School districts in Georgia, including Bartow County and Bryan County, have posted RFPs for local fresh fruits and vegetables emphasizing regional sourcing within 400 miles. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, require F.O.B. Destination pricing with vendor-borne freight, demand USDA compliance and food-safety certifications, and increasingly specify local or regional sourcing preferences. Pre-bid conferences, product-traceability documentation, and prevailing-wage compliance appear in institutional and corrections contracts.
