UNSPSC 50453415: Frozen organic long green improved cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic long green improved cucumbers that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453415 Frozen organic long green improved cucumbers, a Commodity code, names a specific produce item that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations — primarily school districts purchasing through child nutrition and school lunch programs. The recent solicitations show that this code appears in food procurement bundles rather than as a standalone line item; state and local buyers source frozen cucumbers alongside dozens or hundreds of other produce, protein, dairy, and prepared items within comprehensive school nutrition contracts and institutional food supply agreements. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District. State procurement offices and centralized buying cooperatives (such as the Georgia Educational Consortium used by Douglas County School System) also solicit under related produce and food-supply codes to serve multiple member districts at once. These buyers emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American sourcing, HACCP food-safety plans, food-recall procedures, and firm pricing with limited escalation allowances.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with notable solicitations from the State of Georgia, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System — all posting between February and May 2026. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) serves 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million and seeks unit pricing for approximately 72 produce line items including frozen items. The Early County Board of Education IFB (due June 8, 2026) encompasses 300+ food items spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared goods for three schools with delivery Monday–Friday and firm pricing for 15 days from award, escalation only on six-month cycles with USDA or CPI documentation. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (due April 29, 2026) solicited over 900 grocery line items with electronic submission required via NUTRIKIDS. Dallas Independent School District (due April 2, 2026) sought various food products for school nutrition services, excluding items available through main commodity bids, with delivery to a central warehouse and M/WBE program encouragement. Frozen vegetables including cucumbers typically appear as line items in these all-foods procurements rather than standalone buys, making activity tracking at the commodity level challenging; vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district RFPs for fresh and frozen produce categories and centralized cooperative purchasing vehicle notices in their target states.
