UNSPSC 50423412: Dried japanese cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50423412 Dried Japanese cucumbers (Commodity) does not reflect the active state and local procurement landscape. The code itself names a narrow specialty product, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code span broad food service categories—fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and complete grocery supply chains for schools, corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs—with no evidence of specific demand for dried Japanese cucumbers. The mismatch between code scope and actual solicitation content suggests this Commodity code sees minimal or misclassified activity in state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities show concentrated activity among school districts, state corrections departments, and city nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited bids on over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00016233 and a follow-on ITB for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 170,000 pounds (response dates March 20, 2026, and June 19, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026); the City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026); and multiple Georgia school districts—including Douglas County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County—issued RFPs and ITBs for fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual values ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million. No specific demand for dried Japanese cucumbers appears in any of these solicitations.
