UNSPSC 50413315: Organic long green improved cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic long green improved cucumbers

UNSPSC 50413315 Organic long green improved cucumbers is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce supply to schools, school districts, state agencies, and county governments for child nutrition programs, food service operations, and institutional meal preparation. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating cucumbers as one line item within larger fresh-produce procurement brackets serving cafeteria operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, with occasional participation by state nutrition departments and county school systems. These entities solicit produce through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, typically bundling cucumbers with dozens of other fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared items rather than procuring them as standalone line items, and they emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American preferences, HACCP certification, domestic sourcing where feasible, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed weekly or twice-weekly schedules.

The code shows concentrated activity across Georgia and Texas school districts, with additional opportunities in Florida, Missouri, and other states. Representative recent procurements include the Bulloch County School District (Georgia) IFP for 24 produce items including cucumbers, due May 4, 2026; the Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB 27-02 for approximately 60 produce line items with 1,750 units of cucumbers, due April 14, 2026; the Northside Independent School District (Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce serving 127 schools across San Antonio, due May 7, 2026; the Douglas County School System cooperative RFP SN 26-004 aggregating demand from 30 Georgia school districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026; and the Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) FFVP RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables across 18 elementary schools with estimated annual budget of $600,000, due March 11, 2026.
