UNSPSC 50423407: Dried crystal apple cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50423407 Dried crystal apple cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty preserved vegetable products, but recent state and local solicitations show no activity directly aligned with this narrow specification. The source records fourteen recent opportunities spanning food procurement across multiple issuing bodies — school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal child nutrition programs — yet none explicitly solicits dried crystal apple cucumbers. Instead, the opportunities cluster around broader fresh and dried commodity buys: fresh produce (apples, bananas, vegetables, eggs), dried beans (pinto and red), cafeteria staples, and master grocery contracts. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity name and the buying activity it purports to classify signals that this code either sees no recent state or local procurement volume, or state and local buyers are tagging their broader produce and grocery solicitations under higher-tier Family or Class codes rather than this narrow Commodity designation.

Activity is concentrated among school districts and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent ITBs for dried beans (pinto and red varieties, totaling over 170,000 pounds across two solicitations in March and June 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). School nutrition programs in Georgia — including the Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Muscogee County School District — have posted RFPs and ITBs for fresh produce and eggs throughout February through April 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas posted an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026). No opportunities in the source explicitly name dried crystal apple cucumbers or close variants; the code shows no relevant recent procurement activity and should be deprioritized absent direct client intelligence of forthcoming state or local buys under this specific commodity classification.
