UNSPSC 50453408: Frozen organic crystal lemon cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50453408 Frozen organic crystal lemon cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single specialty produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with its stated scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to frozen organic crystal lemon cucumbers. Instead, the procurement records tagged to this code reflect broad food-service solicitations for school nutrition programs and state food supplies—including fresh produce, frozen foods, groceries, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees. When the source material contains opportunities plainly unrelated to a code's nominal scope, the mismatch signals either metadata tagging errors in the procurement system or a code misclassification issue on the issuing body's end. Vendors pursuing frozen specialty produce should verify code alignment at the RFP level rather than relying on the UNSPSC tag alone.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies under this code, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Missouri. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted two major RFPs in early 2026—one for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two regions with estimated spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million annually, and a second for main-line food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual expenditure. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) also issued solicitations in the same window, spanning February through June 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (St. Louis County) solicited over 900 line items for child nutrition services with bid submissions due April 29, 2026. The State of Georgia itself posted two broader food-supply RFPs in April and May 2026. School district contracts typically run July through June, with firm pricing for the initial year and options for renewal; vendor requirements include HACCP compliance, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million), Buy American compliance, E-Verify authorization, and food-recall procedures.
