UNSPSC 50403414: Korila cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as korila cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403414 Korila cucumbers is a Commodity code capturing fresh cucumber supply to state and local institutional food service operations — primarily correctional facilities, mental health centers, state supported living centers, school districts, and senior services. The recent solicitations show korila cucumbers are procured as part of broader fresh produce portfolios rather than as standalone line items; they appear explicitly in only one recent opportunity (the Illinois Department of Corrections' Joliet Treatment Center produce bid), but the code's scope encompasses fresh produce sourcing across institutional dining that routinely includes cucumbers in weekly delivery schedules. State and local food service buyers solicit under this code when establishing standing contracts for fresh produce supply, typically via IFB, RFB, or RFP, with responses due in the 7–30 day range and contract terms running fiscal year (FY27 is prevalent in the recent block) or academic calendar cycles. The issuing bodies span Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia school districts (Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County), Illinois state corrections and mental health departments, Texas school districts (Madison Metropolitan), and county and city governments (Collier County, San Antonio, Marion Health Care Coalition).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce bid for Joliet Treatment Center (IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026), specifying cucumbers alongside onions, peppers, cabbage, and leafy greens on a bi-weekly delivery cycle with prevailing wage compliance and $1 million general liability insurance required; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for multiple warehouse locations (IW267376 Palestine, due October 19, 2026; IW267420 Snyder, due October 14, 2026; IW267411 Wynne, due October 14, 2026) posted to the Bonfire procurement portal; and the Dougherty County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (PE64710NONST2027000000078, due June 16, 2026) covering 40 line items with annual usage, F.O.B. Destination pricing, and refrigerated-truck delivery to 24 school sites. Opportunities emphasize domestic or regional sourcing (within 400 miles in Georgia school bids), traceability by farm of origin where required, USDA grade compliance, quality guarantees with vendor replacement of damaged goods at no cost, and firm pricing with net-30 payment terms. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer — some include small business, minority, woman-owned, or local-vendor preference; others apply no categorical restrictions.
