UNSPSC 50453422: Frozen organic vert de massy cornichon cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic vert de massy cornichon cucumbers that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453422 Frozen organic vert de massy cornichon cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific preserved vegetable product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that narrow specification. The solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly address broad food service procurement — frozen and fresh produce, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, condiments, and supplies for school nutrition programs and state institutional feeding operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple recent opportunities from Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System. State departments (Georgia) and independent school districts (Dallas ISD) round out the active buyers. The scope of work spans line-item food service bids for school meal programs, fresh produce and egg contracts, frozen foods and grocery items, and main-line food distribution services. Vendors are required to meet HACCP food safety plans, Buy American provisions, E-Verify compliance, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and detailed delivery schedules—typically Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at designated school or state facility locations. Pricing must remain firm for contract periods and include all packing and transportation with no separate fuel surcharges.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with additional solicitations from Texas (Dallas ISD). Georgia sources include the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, food supplies, due June 22, 2026), Early County Board of Education (PE55045NONST2027000000006, food and non-food items for school meals, due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (PE77310NONST2026000000018, frozen foods and grocery, IFB, due May 15, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (BID2634, fresh produce for school nutrition, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (PE64810NONST2026000000047, fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts via GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, and PE64810NONST2026000000046, food supply and distribution services for approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual spend of approximately $9 million, due February 18, 2026). Outside Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, over 900 grocery line items, due April 29, 2026) and Dallas ISD in Texas (JC250079, various food products RFP, due April 2, 2026) are active. The code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch—the specific commodity it names does not drive recent procurement volume, and this code should be evaluated against actual school nutrition and institutional food service procurement activity rather than the frozen cornichon cucumber specification alone.
