UNSPSC 50463401: Canned or jarred arena cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as arena cucumbers that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463401 Canned or jarred arena cucumbers, a Commodity code, does not reflect the buying activity state and local governments are conducting under this code classification. The recent procurement opportunities tagged with 50463401 are primarily general food service solicitations from state agencies, school districts, and corrections departments seeking broad grocery and food supplies—canned tomatoes, supplemental food and consumables, fresh produce, eggs, and weekly food orders—rather than arena cucumbers specifically. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with significant activity from state health and human services agencies and state corrections departments. The code appears to serve as a catch-all or miscategorization point for diverse canned and jarred food products rather than a narrowly defined commodity.

State and local procurement under this code spans multiple geographic regions, with concentrated activity in Georgia (school districts including Savannah-Chatham, Burke County, Liberty County, and Muscogee County; Douglas County School System; and the State of Georgia), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy; State of Illinois general food orders), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes—approximately 7,616 cases (response deadline June 19, 2026, with historical reference pricing of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest)—and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across Virginia with weekly deliveries (response deadline April 27, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued two concurrent solicitations for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (responses due April 29, 2026) serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Douglas County School System (Georgia) each issued food procurement RFPs and IFBs for annual school nutrition contracts with fixed pricing and quarterly or six-month price adjustment provisions tied to third-party market indices.
