UNSPSC 50403415: Long green improved cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as long green improved cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403415 Long green improved cucumbers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure cucumbers as a component of institutional food service—specifically, fresh produce supplied to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior centers, and mental health treatment facilities. Recent solicitations show cucumbers specified alongside broader fresh-vegetable line items rather than as standalone commodities; the code appears most active within multi-item produce contracts serving state institutional cafeterias and food warehouses. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), county school systems (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County in Georgia; Early County), municipal school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Dallas Head Start), county health authorities (Collier County Parks and Recreation, Madden Mental Health Center in Illinois), and specialized state-supported living centers. The mix reflects routine procurement across corrections, health and human services, and K-12 nutrition programs rather than concentration in a single jurisdiction type.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Illinois and Wisconsin. Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations between June and October 2026 covering distribution points at Wynne, Snyder, and Palestine food warehouses; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued recurring consumables bids for Lufkin and Mexia State Supported Living Centers across August through October 2026. Georgia school systems (Bartow, Dougherty, Bryan County, Early County) solicited fresh-produce contracts in May and June 2026 emphasizing local sourcing within 400 miles. Representative recent opportunities include Dougherty County Board of Education seeking sealed bids for 40 produce line items (including carrots and tomatoes but no cucumber line explicitly named) due June 16, 2026, and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables with proposals due June 22, 2026 and award anticipated July 20, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (Wisconsin-sourced, 400-mile filter) due July 29, 2026, with weekly deliveries of approximately 5,900 servings for an elementary USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program. The code shows steady activity but appears as one line item within larger multi-produce procurements rather than as a dedicated stand-alone contract, suggesting pursuit is most viable when bundled into full produce-supply responses to institutional food service RFQs and IFBs.
