UNSPSC 50453419: Frozen organic persian cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50453419 Frozen organic persian cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen produce item. Recent state and local solicitations do not target frozen organic persian cucumbers specifically; instead, they source frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery items, and comprehensive food-service supplies for school nutrition programs and state operations. The buying mix centers overwhelmingly on school districts — Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District — supplemented by state-level procurement through the State of Georgia for general food supplies and fresh produce. School districts solicit line-by-line bids for frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and non-food supplies to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, with vendors required to meet HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, food recall procedures, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules. The code shows little activity aligned to its frozen-organic-persian-cucumber specification and instead reflects broader frozen and fresh produce procurement at the school-district and state level.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with outlier solicitations in Texas. The State of Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026) and a food-supplies bid (due June 22, 2026); the Douglas County School System issued a cooperative-purchasing RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively (proposals due March 4, 2026, with board approval April 13, 2026) and a separate RFP for food-supply-and-distribution services with approximately $9 million annual expenditure (proposals due February 18, 2026). In Georgia, City Schools of Decatur and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System each solicited frozen foods and fresh produce via IFB (both due April 23–May 15, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items via electronic bid through the NUTRIKIDS system (due April 29, 2026), and Dallas Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP for supplemental food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). All contracts run through June 30, 2027, with renewal options and firm pricing requirements; delivery timelines are typically Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Vendors emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives or high fructose corn syrup.
