UNSPSC 50453420: Frozen organic telegraph cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50453420 Frozen organic telegraph cucumbers, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific produce item — bears no relationship to the food procurement opportunities posted by Georgia issuing bodies in the second and third quarters of 2026. Instead, state and local governments use this code to tag broad food-service and institutional food purchasing, including shelf-stable pantry items, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, bread products meeting USDA nutrition standards, non-food kitchen supplies, paper products, janitorial equipment, and cleaning supplies. The issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement agencies (State of Georgia), and school district food-service departments (Early County Board of Education). This code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy tag for institutional food procurement rather than a precision match to specific product lines, creating potential misalignment for vendors seeking to bid on frozen vegetables, organic produce, or specialty items.

Recent activity in Georgia shows three opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for senior services, with delivery to Lawrenceville required by December 7, 2026 and F.O.B. Destination terms. The State of Georgia issued a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026 with details contained in the attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids due June 8, 2026 for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies (paper products, cleaning supplies, PPE) supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, Buy American compliance required, $500,000 general liability insurance required, and awards made approximately 60 days after bid opening. All three solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, compliance with federal food-service standards, temperature-controlled delivery windows, and HACCP certification or equivalent food-safety protocols.
