UNSPSC 50443408: Frozen crystal lemon cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50443408 Frozen crystal lemon cucumbers is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure frozen crystal lemon cucumbers specifically; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for this item. Instead, state and local food service procurement under closely related frozen-vegetable codes focuses on commodity vegetables for institutional feeding—frozen corn, carrots, mixed vegetables, assorted blends, and stir-fry medleys—acquired by corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs. The actual purchasing activity in the opportunity record spans broader frozen-vegetable categories (UNSPSC codes for frozen carrots, assorted vegetables, and mixed vegetables) rather than the narrow commodity named in this code, suggesting a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work state and local buyers are actively soliciting.

The issuing bodies pursuing frozen vegetables are diverse: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District), Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and state procurement offices in New Jersey and Illinois. Corrections agencies and school nutrition programs dominate recent activity. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New Jersey, with particular concentration in Texas and Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen corn ITB (S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026), frozen potato products ITB (S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026), and frozen assorted vegetables ITB (S2910000016558, due April 22, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792V2, maximum potential value $4.5 million); and school nutrition food bids across multiple districts. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misaligned with actual state and local frozen-vegetable procurement.
