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 (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The source material contains no opportunities explicitly requesting frozen organic cucumbers or even narrowly related frozen vegetable products; instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code involve broad food-service procurement for school nutrition programs, school districts purchasing multiyear contracts for general grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, and food distribution services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being bought suggests either that the code is being misapplied by issuing bodies or that frozen organic cucumbers represent a line item within larger food-service buys rather than a standalone procurement category. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are school districts and school systems (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and state departments (State of Georgia), pursuing contracts to supply school lunch and breakfast programs, nutrition services, and food operations across multiple school sites.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with activity also present in Texas. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items and 60 non-food and paper supplies for the National School Lunch Program; the State of Georgia's IFB for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026); City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for the 2026–2027 school year (due May 15, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District's bid for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas (estimated annual spending $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two, due March 4, 2026). No recent opportunities show procurement activity that is clearly aligned with the code's stated commodity name.
