UNSPSC 50433406: Dried organic chicago pickling cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50433406 Dried organic chicago pickling cucumbers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of dried pickling cucumbers. Instead, the opportunities span dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), institutional food supply programs (cafeteria and correctional-facility meal service), and weekly food orders for state agencies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity for dried organic pickling cucumbers specifically. State and local buyers using this code are primarily correctional institutions, state purchasing offices, and municipal food service programs procuring bulk dried legumes and institutional food supplies for large-scale meal preparation and distribution.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a significant bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a combined 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders); the Georgia Department of Corrections issued a bid for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with response due May 4, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies to 400 children due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference applied under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans (triple-cleaned) due August 21, 2026, and the State of Illinois issued a bid for quarterly weekly food orders due June 26, 2026. Bidders should note that institutional food procurements often require compliance with USDA, FDA, and HACCP standards, palletization and delivery specifications, and multi-month contract terms with optional renewals.
