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. State and local governments use this code to procure dried produce for institutional food service, but recent activity shows heavy purchasing of dried beans—pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties—for correctional facilities, educational institutions, and child-care food programs rather than the specific apple cucumber product named in the code. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state educational purchasing divisions, city governments running child-nutrition programs, and other institutional food-service operators. The scope of work encompasses bulk dried legumes and related dried produce meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning specifications to remove foreign material, and compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP food-safety requirements for institutional cooking and meal preparation in volume.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 response deadline, offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-processed and Oregon-headquartered vendors, with historical pricing at $0.493 per pound and FOB destination delivery to Salem. Georgia Correctional Industries issued IFB 92100ERFQ0020612027 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with a due date of October 9, 2026. The State of Oregon requested dried black beans (triple-cleaned, USDA-graded) with an August 21, 2026 response deadline. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans and legumes as part of a CACFP meal program RFP serving approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051 applied to bidders within Edinburg falling within 5% of the lowest bid. Illinois issued a quarterly food-supply order (FY-27 IVHQ) with a June 26, 2026 deadline that included weekly food items. Contracts typically impose all-inclusive pricing with delivery costs embedded, strict specification compliance, and compliance certifications with state tax laws and food-safety regulations.
