UNSPSC 50443417: Frozen midget cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50443417 Frozen midget cucumbers (Commodity) does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen midget cucumbers; instead, the records show bids for frozen corn, frozen potato products, frozen assorted vegetables, fresh produce, eggs, fresh carrots, and comprehensive grocery and food service contracts spanning multiple states and issuing bodies. The code's nominal scope—a specific frozen vegetable commodity—does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited.

State and local procurement activity under UNSPSC codes is driven by issuing-body procurement calendars and the specific goods state agencies, school districts, correctional facilities, and other public bodies require. When a code's name does not reflect actual recent solicitation activity, either the code has been applied incorrectly to a set of opportunities, the opportunities do not belong under that code, or the code sees no relevant recent activity. In this instance, the recent opportunities are predominantly school nutrition program food service contracts, state department of corrections facility food procurement, state health and human services facility food supply, and county/municipal correctional facility grocery procurement—none of which center on frozen midget cucumbers specifically. Vendors should verify that this UNSPSC code is the appropriate classification tier for their target commodity before building a pursuit strategy around it.
