UNSPSC 50433410: Dried organic gherkin cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50433410 Dried organic gherkin cucumbers (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local solicitations under this code predominantly target institutional bulk procurement of dried legumes—pinto beans, red beans, black beans, and kidney beans—for correctional facilities, state agencies, child care programs, and school food services, not gherkins. The issuing bodies are state departments of corrections and purchasing divisions, state agencies, city governments supporting federal meal programs, and school districts. Work involves specifying USDA-graded dried beans meeting triple-cleaning standards, moisture content limits, foreign-material thresholds, and bulk institutional cooking requirements, with deliveries on palletized FOB-destination terms to distribution centers or individual sites.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and the Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid in June 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (RFQ through OregonBuys with a 10% Oregon-vendor evaluation preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound); the State of Oregon issued a separate bid for dried black beans due August 21, 2026 (IFB specifying USDA grading and triple-cleaning); Georgia Correctional Industries released an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, requiring delivery in increments of 880 bags; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) issued an IFB in May 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning proteins, grains, and legumes across five TDCJ warehouse locations, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21). The code shows little recent procurement activity specifically for dried gherkins; vendors targeting this commodity should monitor correctional purchasing and state institutional food-service solicitations rather than expecting gherkin-specific demand signals.
