UNSPSC 50453401: Frozen organic arena cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50453401 Frozen organic arena cucumbers is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and specialty food products for institutional feeding programs, senior services, and school meal operations. Recent solicitations under this code show that state and local governments are buying mixed food baskets — shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, grains, dairy, and fresh-like products — rather than cucumbers specifically. The code appears as a catch-all in food-service tenders where line-item purchasing spans dozens of product categories and vendors compete on unit-price and delivery compliance. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and school district boards of education (Early County Board of Education). Contracts typically require F.O.B. destination delivery with inside service, strict labeling and condition requirements, and compliance with USDA meal-program rules when applicable.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026, and Early County Schools issued a line-by-line food bid for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with a June 8, 2026 bid deadline. The State of Georgia posted a statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with due date June 22, 2026; the full scope was contained in an attached solicitation document. School district procurement emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and vendor insurance (minimum $500,000 general liability), HACCP plans, and E-Verify compliance. County and state tenders award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on unit-price basis and permit split awards by line item. The code shows active recent solicitation activity but little indication of frozen or organic specialty-produce purchasing; the mismatch between the code name and the actual work being bought — general institutional food supply — suggests this Commodity code may be a default classification in state and local systems rather than a targeted procurement driver.
