UNSPSC 50443400: Frozen cucumbers

The type of vegetable known as cucumbers that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443400 Frozen cucumbers, a Class code, does not see relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve institutional food service purchasing — bulk groceries, frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, and paper products for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and county social services. None of the posted solicitations name frozen cucumbers as a line item or distinct deliverable; instead, they treat frozen vegetables as undifferentiated commodity categories within broader food supply contracts where frozen cucumber products, if procured at all, would be one item among hundreds. The code's nominal scope — a single frozen vegetable variety — does not align with the way state and local procurement actually structures food service sourcing.

Institutional buyers across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey are soliciting food service through large, multi-category RFPs and ITBs that bundle proteins, produce, dairy, paper, and supplies into comprehensive line-item lists evaluated as a single award or split by category. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items, delivery by December 7); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 2026 frozen food products procurement across 106 line items ($9 million estimated annual volume); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITBs for frozen corn (40,000 pounds) and assorted frozen vegetables (360,000 pounds) with standing 10 percent Oregon vendor preference; and multiple school district food bids from Burke County, Early County, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia in May and June 2026. If your firm supplies frozen cucumber products as part of a broader frozen or fresh vegetable capability, track institutional food service RFPs and ITBs in your target states, but expect to compete in large, multi-vendor pools rather than dedicated frozen-cucumber procurement.
