UNSPSC 50403416: Marketmore cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as marketmore cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403416 Marketmore cucumbers, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh cucumber supply to state and local institutional food service operations—correctional facilities, mental health centers, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing marketmore and general fresh produce as components of broader food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity lines; the code appears in procurement for institutional cafeteria operations, inmate meal programs, school nutrition, and facility food service where fresh vegetables are bundled with proteins, dairy, grains, and disposables.

Issuing bodies span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), Illinois state departments (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), Florida county governments (Collier County), and non-profit operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Texas state agencies and Georgia school districts dominate recent activity. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation IW267420 for fresh fruit and vegetables to Snyder Food Warehouse (RFP, October 14, 2026 response date), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables including produce for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB, October 23, 2026 due date), the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (IFB, June 16, 2026 due date), and the Bryan County School Nutrition Program's sealed bid for fresh produce including cucumbers and related items (IFB, May 27, 2026 due date). Pricing is uniformly F.O.B. Destination with vendors bearing transportation; contracts typically run one fiscal or school year with renewal options. Most solicitations require proof of insurance, compliance certifications, and references; school districts increasingly emphasize local sourcing within 400 miles and organic or sustainably grown options as weighted evaluation criteria.
