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 is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within produce procurement, but the recent state and local solicitations carrying this code tag do not reflect purchasing activity specific to dried cucumbers. Instead, the opportunities listed span broad food-service and nutrition programs serving schools, correctional facilities, and child-care organizations across multiple states. The City of Edinburg, Texas, is requesting proposals for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service under RFP 2026-017 due August 4, 2026, encompassing five supply categories—beverages, paper goods, food products (proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks), janitorial supplies, and nonfood items—to serve approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily; the solicitation applies a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bidders within Edinburg falling within 5 percent of the lowest bid price. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) Purchasing/Contracts Division issued an ITB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (not cucumbers) with bids due June 19, 2026, and a combined 10 percent evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or processed goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Texas state agencies—the Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ)—and multiple Georgia school districts and counties (Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) have issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, grocery items, and food supplies spanning diverse product categories, all due between late March and late June 2026.

Recent activity under this code shows a mix of issuing bodies centered on school districts and state agencies, with standout repeat solicitation activity from Georgia school systems and the state of Georgia itself. The City of Edinburg, Texas; Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; and multiple Georgia jurisdictions (Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools) account for the majority of recent postings. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products with approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments, delivered to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas, with the response deadline extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools' sealed bid for Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323) requiring delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with deliveries between 7:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, bids due April 27, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried long green improved cucumbers) and the actual solicitations (broad food-service, produce, and grocery procurement across multiple categories) suggests this code carries minimal relevance to recent purchasing intent for the specific commodity named.
