UNSPSC 50423412: Dried japanese cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50423412 Dried japanese cucumbers is a Commodity code, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under it solicit dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—rather than cucumbers. State and local governments use this code tier to procure institutional bulk food staples for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies. The work solicited spans specification compliance (USDA grading standards, moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, triple-cleaning requirements), bulk packaging and delivery logistics (palletization, FOB destination, daily or scheduled delivery to distribution centers), and compliance with food-safety regulations (FDA, USDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice). Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and purchasing, state departments of agriculture, cities administering child care meal programs, and state correctional industries divisions. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia appear as repeat buyers in the recent record.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (RFQ S2910000017705, due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical incumbent price was $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with delivery included in all-inclusive pricing and no separate freight reimbursement. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued broader food-supply RFPs and IFBs covering multiple product categories including dried beans as line items within larger institutional meal-service procurements. The code shows active state and local demand but with minimal geographic concentration; recent opportunities cluster in the South and West, but the geographic distribution remains dispersed across multiple state purchasing systems.
