UNSPSC 50403422: Vert de massy cornichon cucumbers

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 produce sourcing for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, child care agencies, and correctional facilities purchasing cucumbers and related fresh vegetables for meal service and student snack distribution. State and local procurement under this code flows primarily through school districts conducting seasonal or annual produce bids, with secondary activity from state departments of criminal justice, county school nutrition programs, and nonprofit child nutrition operators. School districts represent the dominant issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas, where multiple county boards of education and independent school districts have posted solicitations for fresh produce bundles that include cucumbers alongside apples, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, and other vegetables.

Recent opportunities show the code in active use but often as one line item within broader produce or grocery procurement. The Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted RFB 4163 on July 8, 2026, seeking fresh fruit and vegetable snacks delivered ready-to-eat for approximately 5,900 weekly servings under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with response due July 29, 2026; Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited sealed bids for fresh produce on May 19, 2026, naming cucumbers among 40 line items for 24 school nutrition sites, due June 16, 2026; and Bryan County Schools (Georgia) conducted a sealed bid for fresh produce on April 27, 2026, specifying cucumbers among multiple varieties, with proposals due May 27, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple produce bids, including IFB IW253079 for carrots (June 23, 2026) and IFB IW253121 for sweet potatoes for canning (June 23, 2026), signaling institutional demand for processed and fresh vegetables. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (school districts in Bartow, Dougherty, Bryan, Liberty, Muscogee, Glynn, Henry, Bulloch, and Savannah-Chatham counties) and Texas (school districts and TDCJ), with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. The code shows no recent opportunities naming cucumbers explicitly as a standalone commodity; pursuit viability depends on bundle positioning within multi-item school nutrition or institutional produce contracts where fresh vegetables are weighted by volume and frequency rather than unit value.
