UNSPSC 50423402: Dried armenian cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as armenian cucumbers that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423402 Dried armenian cucumbers is a Commodity code representing specialty dried vegetables procured for institutional food service and correctional facilities. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal relevance to the nominal scope — recent solicitations name dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broad cafeteria food products, but not dried Armenian cucumbers specifically. State and local agencies use this code tier to procure dried legumes and institutional food staples for prison systems, child-care meal programs, and state warehouse distribution networks. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices coordinating multi-agency food procurement (Oregon, Georgia, Illinois), and municipalities delivering federally funded meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). Work involves bulk ingredient procurement with USDA or equivalent grading compliance, delivery to multiple distribution points or central warehouses, palletization standards, food-safety certifications, and compliance with state and federal nutrition regulations.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors, triple-cleaning and U.S. No. 2 grade standards, FOB destination delivery to Salem within 45 days, and a historical price of $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-compliance requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and staples across five geographic areas with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points, an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026, and contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children under RFP 2026-017 with a local-vendor preference and daily deliveries before noon, though the posted due date of August 11, 2026 appears inconsistent with the stated proposal deadline of August 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The code shows no recent activity matching dried Armenian cucumbers explicitly.
