UNSPSC 50403414: Korila cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as korila cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403414 Korila cucumbers, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce sourcing for institutional meal service, with state and local governments buying cucumbers primarily through school district nutrition programs, Head Start child care facilities, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show cucumbers purchased as part of broader fresh produce line items for school lunches, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and inmate feeding operations, priced per pound or per case with delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Bartow County and Dougherty County schools in Georgia, Glynn County schools in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, and Bulloch County schools in Georgia; correctional facilities appear through the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; and Head Start programs appear through Head Start of Greater Dallas. Sourcing preferences heavily emphasize local and regional production—many school districts specify 200- to 400-mile sourcing radii—and evaluation criteria consistently weight quality, delivery reliability, and compliance with USDA food safety and Buy American provisions alongside price.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple vegetable procurement IFBs in June 2026, including carrots, sweet potatoes, and white potatoes for institutional canning. Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County) posted fresh produce bids between March and May 2026, with response windows ranging from April through late June. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio and Austin Independent School District in Texas also solicited fresh produce in spring 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin posted RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks due July 29, 2026, requiring weekly delivery of 5,900 servings of ready-to-eat produce within 400 miles of Madison, with a $0.20-per-pound organic preference and contract running September through November 2026. Head Start of Greater Dallas issued IFB 26-GP for grocery products with a due date of June 24, 2026, estimated at $969,460.94 and seeking primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers of produce among 32,409 cases of diverse food items. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa posted RFP 26039RFPDST for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program covering 18 elementary schools with an estimated annual budget of $600,000 and proposals due March 11, 2026. Set-asides vary by jurisdiction—some include diverse-business preferences or cooperative-purchasing frameworks; others remain open to all qualified vendors meeting insurance, food safety, and compliance requirements.
