UNSPSC 50423411: Dried hokus cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50423411 Dried hokus cucumbers is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as institutional food supplies for correctional facilities, schools, and other public institutions. The actual recent solicitations posted under this code, however, show little alignment with dried hokus cucumbers; instead, the opportunities recorded span dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broader cafeteria and food-service procurement. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and the City of Edinburg's Child and Adult Care Food Program all appear as recent buyers. The scope of work across the opportunities includes bulk dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaned specifications, and institutional-scale food supply fulfillment with packaging and delivery requirements suited to prison kitchens, school meal programs, and public-agency food services.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% Oregon-based preference (5% for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon, 5% for bidders headquartered in Oregon); the State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans triple-cleaned with a due date of August 21, 2026. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags due October 9, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans and legumes, with responses originally due April 21, 2026, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, for supply to six TDCJ distribution centers across Texas with a contract term through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a CACFP meal service (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code sees limited recent activity overall and appears misclassified in the procurement records relative to its nominal scope.
