UNSPSC 50423416: Dried marketmore cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50423416 Dried marketmore cucumbers is a Commodity code that spans vegetable supply procurement for state and local institutional food service, though the recent opportunity record shows minimal direct purchasing under this specific dried-cucumber taxonomy. The opportunities posted under or near this code predominantly reflect school district, correctional system, and municipal child nutrition programs sourcing broad-spectrum grocery and produce items rather than specialty dried vegetables. State and local buyers under this and adjacent commodity codes source fresh and processed produce, dried staples (beans, grains), dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees to supply cafeterias, detention facilities, and meal programs serving thousands of daily participants across multiple geographic jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include school districts of varying sizes (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County and Muscogee County systems in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia, Illinois), and municipal agencies (City of Edinburg, Texas). Repeat institutional buyers—particularly school nutrition programs—dominate the recent activity, with multi-district purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts) consolidating purchasing power and contract scope.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233, bid deadline March 20, 2026) and a June 2026 follow-on for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026)—both specifying U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned product, FOB destination delivery to Salem with 45-day lead times and one-year minimum shelf life. The Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) projected approximately $5.5 million combined annual spend across 30 districts across two Georgia geographic areas. Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) sought products for 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens on weekly delivery schedules with nine-month minimum shelf life and Child Nutrition label compliance. The City of Edinburg, Texas' July 2026 RFP for CACFP meal supplies (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) specified firm pricing across five supply categories serving approximately 400 children daily with local vendor 5 percent preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. No bids specifically identified dried marketmore cucumbers as a line item or primary procurement object in the posted summaries; the code shows activity primarily in broader dried-staple and fresh-produce categories rather than specialty dried-vegetable procurement alone.
