UNSPSC 50423408: Dried crystal lemon cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50423408 Dried crystal lemon cucumbers, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned directly with its narrow product scope. The code nominally describes a single specialty produce item—preserved or dehydrated lemon cucumbers—but the recent opportunities posted under this classification reflect broad food service procurement across vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, and miscellaneous grocery and kitchen supplies for schools, correctional facilities, child nutrition programs, and state operations. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual solicitations suggests that state and local procurement systems are either tagging general food supply contracts with this code as a catch-all or that the code is rarely used in practice for its intended purpose.

The issuing bodies soliciting under related codes include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County systems in Georgia), state departments (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Oregon Department of Corrections; Illinois; Georgia), county governments (Muscogee County), and municipalities (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg's RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) covering beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for 400 children daily; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) establishing a term contract for grocery delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) spanning approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments across multiple warehouse locations. These solicitations are structured as term contracts with firm pricing, weekly or daily delivery schedules, compliance with federal nutrition and food safety standards, and awards on a lowest-responsive-bid or line-item basis. The code itself shows no distinct procurement signal for dried crystal lemon cucumbers specifically.
