UNSPSC 50413301: Organic arena cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic arena cucumbers

UNSPSC 50413301 Organic arena cucumbers is a Commodity code representing fresh produce items procured by state and local governments for food service operations. State and local buyers under this code solicit produce from counties, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies to support concession facilities, institutional meal programs, and food service contracts. The work involves supplying fresh fruits and vegetables—including produce broadly categorized as vegetables and specialty items like cucumbers—meeting food safety compliance, delivery schedules, volume requirements, and quality standards. Vendors typically must maintain HACCP plans, comply with health regulations, provide product freshness guarantees, and often source domestically when required by statute or contract terms.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing-body types across the Southeast and broader United States. Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) due March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with produce supply embedded in the broader concession operations requiring diverse food and beverage options. Marion Health Care Coalition in Florida sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period, covering fresh fruits and vegetables with delivery to healthcare facilities. Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted line-by-line bids due June 8, 2026 for food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, specifying approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits with emphasis on domestic sourcing and nutritional specifications. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. School districts and counties appear as primary repeat buyers, with healthcare and parks-and-recreation operations also active. Producers should expect local-vendor preferences, Buy American compliance requirements, insurance and debarment verification, and E-Verify enrollment in larger contracts; pricing is typically firm for 15–180 days with escalation provisions tied to USDA indices.
