UNSPSC 50423415: Dried long green improved cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as long green improved cucumbers that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423415 Dried long green improved cucumbers, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code request dried beans (kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans), institutional food supplies for correctional and educational facilities, and child-care meal-program ingredients — none of which match the code's nominal scope of dried cucumbers. State and local purchasing offices are acquiring institutional bulk food products for correctional systems, state agencies, child-care programs, and school districts, but the solicitations in the record do not reflect procurement of dried cucumbers specifically. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state agencies (State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work being solicited comprises food staples for bulk meal preparation and food service — dried legumes, proteins, dairy, grains, and associated kitchen supplies — rather than preserved vegetable products.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities from Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid (S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB (304T26300CF) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across multiple product categories with response due May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, also posted an RFP (2026017) for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies due August 4, 2026. The code as tagged shows little relevant procurement activity; business development professionals evaluating this code should consider whether their product offerings align with the institutional dried-bean and bulk food-supply categories actually being solicited, rather than dried cucumbers.
