UNSPSC 50423423: Dried yamato cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50423423 Dried yamato cucumbers, a Commodity code, does not correspond to the state and local procurement activity tagged under it in recent opportunities. The recent records show solicitations for kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and broad institutional food procurement covering proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and supplies — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of dried yamato cucumbers. The issuing bodies span state correctional and institutional feeding programs (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state food-supply contracts (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), and municipal child-care meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). These jurisdictions are pursuing standardized, high-volume food procurement for institutional kitchens and meal-service operations.

Activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas, with secondary mentions of Illinois and Texas municipal procurement. Recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' IFB for kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (5 percent Oregon-processing and 5 percent Oregon-headquarters evaluation preferences available); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations due May 4, 2026; and the City of Edinburg's RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies (beverages, paper goods, proteins, janitorial items, nonfood products) with a local-vendor 5 percent preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal taxonomy entry and actual procurement signals; this category appears to reflect a taxonomy classification error rather than genuine demand for dried yamato cucumbers in state and local government.
