UNSPSC 50403409: Danimas cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as danimas cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403409 Danimas cucumbers (Commodity) shows limited direct activity in state and local procurement, with the recent opportunities block presenting a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited. While the code names a single produce item, state and local jurisdictions tagging opportunities under this code are procuring comprehensive fresh produce assortments—not cucumbers specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) seeks fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with weekly delivery within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin-sourced requirements, plus a Wisconsin diversity-business preference. Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) procures approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat for child care under CACFP requirements with primary, secondary, and tertiary supplier competition weighted toward unit price and product quality. However, subsequent records in the block show state and local buyers tagging carrots, sweet potatoes, and white potatoes under separate IFB codes—suggesting that individual vegetable commodities may receive their own codes within the procurement system, and the Danimas cucumbers code may see narrow application or remain underutilized relative to the broader fresh-produce procurement activity evident across school districts, child nutrition programs, and state correctional and criminal-justice food service operations.

The issuing bodies using fresh produce codes span school districts (Madison Metro, Hillsborough County, Northside ISD, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Henry County, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Early County, SCCPSS, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Austin ISD), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), Head Start programs, and county nutrition services across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with school nutrition procurement the dominant use case. The source contains no recent opportunities specifically tagged with UNSPSC 50403409 that are unambiguously about cucumbers alone; instead, cucumber procurement appears bundled into larger fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs. If pursuing this code, verify with issuing bodies whether they tag single-item vegetable orders separately or roll them into broader commodity families, as the recent activity suggests the code may be underutilized or reserved for standalone cucumber supply contracts rather than the mixed-produce awards dominating the market right now.
