UNSPSC 50423417: Dried midget cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50423417 Dried midget cucumbers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it are not purchasing dried midget cucumbers. Instead, the solicitations show state and local agencies buying dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and criminal justice department cafeterias. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual procurement activity tagged to it in the recent record.

The issuing bodies represent a cross-section of state corrections and food-service agencies: the Georgia Department of Corrections (seeking kidney beans), the Oregon Department of Corrections (requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans), the State of Illinois (soliciting weekly food orders), the State of Georgia (general food supplies), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products across five geographic areas), the City of Edinburg, Texas (CACFP meal program support serving 400 children daily), and the State of Oregon (institutional dried black beans). The most recent and detailed opportunities posted in June and August 2026 were the Oregon Department of Corrections bid (due June 19, 2026) with a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-based and Oregon-fabricated goods and a historical price of $0.493 per pound, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum from April 21) covering 382 line items across five Texas warehouse locations, and the City of Edinburg RFP (due August 4, 2026) with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for vendors within 5% of the lowest bid. Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The code shows little relevant recent activity to its nominal commodity definition.
