UNSPSC 50443422: Frozen vert de massy cornichon cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as vert de massy cornichon cucumbers that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443422 Frozen vert de massy cornichon cucumbers is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under the recent solicitations tagged to it. The code nominally describes a specific frozen pickle variety, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span broad frozen and fresh food procurement for institutional food service — frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, fresh produce, grocery staples, meats, dairy, and miscellaneous food products for schools, correctional facilities, and state agencies across multiple states.

The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state university systems, state supported living centers), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Dallas Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District), counties (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Schools dominate the recent activity, accounting for the majority of posted opportunities. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Connecticut, with ongoing activity across the Southeast, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB (S2910000017451) on July 10, 2026, for 40,000 pounds of frozen corn due July 24, 2026, at $0.498 per pound historical reference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB (HHS0017449) on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 13, 2026, and historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period; and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing an IFB (2000004323) on April 6, 2026, for a Master Grocery K-12 contract with response due April 27, 2026, for supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope signals that this code is likely mis-tagged in source systems and should not be used as a reliable filter for specific frozen pickle opportunities.
