UNSPSC 50453407: Frozen organic crystal apple cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50453407 Frozen organic crystal apple cucumbers is a Commodity code that describes a single specialized produce item. However, the recent state and local opportunities sourced under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen organic crystal apple cucumbers specifically. Instead, the code appears to serve as a proxy or catch-all tag for broader fresh and frozen food procurement across school nutrition programs, food service operations, and state agency supply chains. The actual work being solicited includes comprehensive food and produce supply contracts spanning fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), frozen foods and grocery staples, eggs, dairy, meats, grains, and non-food kitchen supplies. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies, with the Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and the State of Georgia itself posting multiple solicitations between February and May 2026. School districts dominate the opportunity flow, reflecting ongoing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding. A handful of state departments and municipal bodies appear as secondary buyers.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, where multiple districts and the state procurement office issued seven of ten visible opportunities, with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood) and Texas (Dallas ISD). Recent representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for three schools with contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the State of Georgia Fresh Produce IFB #4 2027-2026 (due May 27, 2026) for supply and delivery of fresh produce to state operations; City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) with virtual pre-bid on April 29, 2026 serving ten school sites; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic system) covering over 900 line items for approximately 19,000 students; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid (due April 23, 2026) for 72 items across 60 school sites with estimated annual volume of up to 21,125 cases of Fuji apples alone; Dallas ISD's various food products RFP (due April 2, 2026) for spice lots, ice cream, and specialty items excluded from main commodity bids; and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP for 30 cooperating districts (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. School nutrition procurement cycles run July through June, with spring bidding windows (February through June) dominating current activity.
