UNSPSC 50413308: Organic crystal lemon cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic crystal lemon cucumbers

UNSPSC 50413308 Organic crystal lemon cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty produce items, but recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a much broader set of food-service procurement activity. The issuing bodies reflect the diversity of the public sector: county parks and recreation departments, school districts, state agriculture or food-service departments, and regional healthcare coalitions. The actual work being solicited ranges from comprehensive fresh-produce contracts serving school lunch programs and healthcare facility kitchens to specialized concession-food services at parks and recreation facilities. Vendors must navigate USDA sourcing preferences, food-safety compliance including HACCP documentation and state health certifications, temperature-controlled delivery timelines, and often serve multiple sites or facility types under a single award.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Georgia (state-level food procurement and Early County Board of Education), Florida (Collier County Parks and Recreation), and Marion Health Care Coalition. The Early County Board of Education issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line bids covering approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with potential renewal and allows piggybacking by other districts. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to operate concession facilities and offer competitive pricing under a 10-point local-vendor preference; the contract term is three years with two one-year renewal options. The State of Georgia solicited bids on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products, due June 22, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals on August 7, 2026 for the 2026-2027 fiscal period, due August 21, 2026.
