The variety of cucumbers known as vert de massy cornichon cucumbers

UNSPSC 50403422 Vert de massy cornichon cucumbers is a Commodity code that captures fresh cucumber supply to state and local institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, mental health centers, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county parks and recreation departments. The actual buying under this code spans fresh produce procurement for high-volume, recurring institutional meal service — bidders quote cucumbers alongside other fresh vegetables (carrots, onions, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes) as part of larger food-service contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections and health and human services, school districts, and county departments managing food operations at institutional facilities. The work involves supplying fresh, food-grade cucumbers meeting USDA quality standards, delivered on F.O.B. Destination terms with specified delivery windows, temperature control, and compliance with food-safety regulations including HACCP and biosecurity protocols.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh produce solicitations across its warehouse locations and facility food services (Snyder Food Warehouse, Wynne Food Warehouse, Palestine) with response deadlines in September and October 2026, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is soliciting canteen and food-service groceries for state supported living centers at Lufkin and Mexia with August through October 2026 deadlines. Georgia school districts — Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County — have issued fresh-produce bids with June deadlines for the 2026-2027 school year. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted a small-business-set-aside fresh-produce solicitation for Joliet Treatment Center due September 3, 2026, and the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center sought fresh fruits and vegetables under small-purchase procurement in August 2026. Other recent activity includes Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requesting fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles and certified by Wisconsin diversity programs, and the City of San Antonio seeking a produce-market operator for senior centers. The code shows sustained quarterly activity across state institutions and school nutrition programs, with most opportunities issued through standard IFB, RFQ, or sealed-bid processes carrying recurring annual or multi-year contract terms.
