UNSPSC 50443403: Frozen athene cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as athene cucumbers that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443403 Frozen athene cucumbers (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent-opportunities block. The source shows no frozen cucumber solicitations; instead, the opportunities reflect procurement for frozen mixed vegetables, frozen assorted blends, frozen carrots, frozen potato products, and comprehensive grocery programs serving correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies. The code's nominal scope appears mismatched to actual market demand in this dataset.

State and local buyers soliciting under related frozen-vegetable codes—including Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts across Georgia (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Ben Hill County Schools, Montgomery County and Fairfax County jurisdictions, and the City of Bridgeport—consistently purchase frozen corn, mixed vegetables, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, stir-fry blends, and potato products in bulk (ranging from 40,000 to 400,000 pounds per procurement) via ITB and IFB notice types. Prices for frozen vegetables historically range from $0.30 to $0.70 per pound depending on variety and packaging. Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs in spring and summer 2026 for frozen assorted vegetables, carrots, corn, and potato products; Texas HHSC and TDCJ maintain statewide supplemental food contracts valued up to $4.5 million over three years; and school districts across the Southeast conduct annual food bids with multiple frozen-vegetable line items. No recent opportunities explicitly named frozen athene cucumbers or specified them as a procurement requirement.
