UNSPSC 50433407: Dried organic crystal apple cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50433407 Dried organic crystal apple cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show minimal relevance to that specification. The solicitations instead span broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care services — encompassing fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, grocery items, and meal program supplies rather than a niche dried-vegetable product. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System) and state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois, and Georgia), with one municipal child care program (City of Edinburg, Texas). School districts dominate the activity, soliciting produce and grocery items to support district-wide nutrition programs serving thousands of daily meal participants.

The geographic spread includes Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with school districts in the Southeast (Georgia, South Carolina) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia) showing the highest recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) seeking weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for 6,900 daily lunch participants; the Muscogee County School District fresh produce ITB (due April 27, 2026) for approximately 60 produce line items with weekly delivery; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (extended to May 4, 2026) encompassing 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and produce for multiple warehouse locations; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts across Georgia with an estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million spend split by geographic area. The code shows active procurement but exhibits a mismatch between its narrow product specification and the broad food-service solicitations currently tagged to it.
