UNSPSC 50453418: Frozen organic national pickling cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50453418 Frozen organic national pickling cucumbers is a Commodity code covering specialized produce items that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service and meal-support operations. Recent solicitations show that this code captures frozen vegetable products supplied to school districts, county senior services programs, and state institutional kitchens as components of bulk food purchases. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), typically through informal written quotes, competitive sealed bids, and line-item RFQs when procuring national or regional food-service contracts tied to federal nutrition programs or general community services funding.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, with recent opportunities posted by Gwinnett County in October 2026 (IWQ 140229, approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia in May 2026 (solicitation 26_003 Food Supplies_Etc_.pdf, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Schools in May 2026 (FY27 Food Bid, due June 8, 2026 for National School Lunch and Breakfast Program supply). These solicitations emphasize delivery to institutional locations, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, domestic sourcing preferences where applicable, and firm pricing with cost escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Award methodologies favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders calculated on per-unit-of-measure pricing, with some contracts permitting line-item splits and "or approved equivalent" substitutions when specific brands are listed.
