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 is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single specialty produce item. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no activity aligned with frozen organic telegraph cucumbers specifically. Instead, the solicitations capture broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations, encompassing hundreds of line items across fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas) alongside state procurement offices (State of Georgia for general food and fresh produce). The code shows little relevant recent activity for the product it nominally describes.

Geographic concentration is in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, requiring HACCP plans and Buy American compliance; the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (approximately $4.4 million for Area One, $1.1 million for Area Two) due March 4, 2026, through the GEC Buying Cooperative; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products not covered under main commodity bids, due April 2, 2026. School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options, firm pricing for the contract period, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during designated morning windows. The mismatch between the code's scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code does not meaningfully capture frozen organic telegraph cucumber opportunities in state and local markets.
