UNSPSC 50413310: Organic gherkin cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic gherkin cucumbers

UNSPSC 50413310 Organic gherkin cucumbers is a Commodity code that sees limited recent procurement activity in state and local government. The code nominally refers to organic pickled cucumber products, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand for this specific commodity at the unit level. Instead, issuing bodies across the education sector—primarily school districts and county school systems—are procuring fresh produce broadly under higher-tier codes and class-level aggregations that span cucumbers alongside comprehensive vegetable and fruit assortments for child nutrition programs. When cucumbers appear in recent solicitations, they are embedded within 60–72 line-item produce procurement events alongside dozens of other vegetables and fruits, priced per unit or per case through competitive bidding on bundles rather than as standalone items.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts conducting annual child nutrition produce contracts. The Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, bid due April 14, 2026) solicits approximately 1,750 units of cucumbers within a 60-item fresh-produce envelope; the Bulloch County School District (IFP, bid due May 4, 2026) specifies cucumbers as one of 24 locally-grown produce items within a 200-mile sourcing radius; Liberty County Board of Education (IFB, bid due April 29, 2026) includes cucumbers in produce offerings across 13 school sites; and Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017, bid due April 27, 2026) procures approximately 60 produce line items including cucumbers on a weekly delivery basis. Texas districts—Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026), McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026), and Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026)—similarly procure fresh produce in bulk under child nutrition programs where cucumbers form one component of multi-item deliveries. The code itself shows no active solicitation treating organic gherkins as a standalone procurement category; vendors pursuing this code should recognize that institutional demand for cucumbers operates through broader produce family and class-level codes where price and delivery logistics drive award decisions on line-item bases rather than through organic or gherkin-specific specifications.
