UNSPSC 50433401: Dried organic arena cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50433401 Dried organic arena cucumbers, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this classification in recent state and local opportunities. The recent contract activity tagged to this code comprises broad food service procurement — bulk dried beans, fresh produce, groceries, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care centers — rather than organic cucumbers, dried or otherwise. The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state nutrition and health agencies (Illinois, Georgia), and municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). The code shows no recent opportunities specifically for dried organic cucumbers or any cucumber product, indicating a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the actual procurement activity.

The geographic spread includes Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with the heaviest activity in Georgia school districts and Texas corrections and child nutrition services. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (bid due March 20, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract via IFB 2000004323 (responses due April 27, 2026), the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts (proposals due March 4, 2026), and the City of Edinburg Child and Adult Care Food Program RFP (proposals due August 4, 2026). This code appears to be a data-quality or tagging issue in the procurement system rather than an active commodity classification for dried organic cucumbers in state and local contracting.
