UNSPSC 50413323: Organic yamato cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic yamato cucumbers

UNSPSC 50413323 Organic yamato cucumbers is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce supplied to state agencies, school districts, and counties for institutional feeding programs, though recent solicitations under this code show activity dominated by school nutrition procurement rather than the specific organic yamato cucumber line item itself. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy bulk fresh produce — including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, cucumbers, and eggs — for National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs serving K–12 students across multiple campuses. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with individual districts such as Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, and Rockwood R-VI School District appearing as repeat buyers. Work solicited includes weekly or bi-weekly deliveries to 13–60 school sites, compliance with HACCP plans and food safety certifications, adherence to Buy American provisions and domestic sourcing preferences, temperature-controlled transport, and cost-plus or firm fixed-price arrangements with annual price redetermination tied to USDA market reports.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 RFQ for 300+ food items including fresh produce and dairy across three schools under a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract; Northside Independent School District's May 7, 2026 RFP deadline for fresh produce delivery to 47 campuses in the San Antonio area with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown produce prioritization; Hillsborough County Public Schools' March 11, 2026 RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables serving 18 elementary schools through the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with an estimated $600,000 annual budget funded entirely by federal grant; Bulloch County School District's May 4, 2026 IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items within 200 miles of the district serving 11,200 students; Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across Georgia with approximately $5.5 million combined estimated annual spending for Area One and Area Two; and multiple Georgia county boards (Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) issuing April–May 2026 IFBs or ITBs for fresh produce contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Most solicitations require minimum three to five years' experience, $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance, HACCP and food safety documentation, debarment certification, and compliance with federal E-Verify and Buy American requirements. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the available documentation; awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item basis with options for renewal up to three or four additional one-year terms.
