UNSPSC 50463415: Canned or jarred long green improved cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as long green improved cucumbers that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463415 Canned or jarred long green improved cucumbers is a Commodity code that covers pickled or preserved cucumber products typically supplied to institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus instead on canned tomatoes, fresh produce, and broader grocery categories for school nutrition programs and state-supported facilities. School districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies drive the market; repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school systems. The mix of issuing bodies skews heavily toward K-12 school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District) and state institutional food service (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, Illinois Veterans Home), with occasional county or special-purpose district participation through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Texas, Georgia, and Oregon showing the highest posting volume. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (issued June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior year), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products covering multiple categories (issued May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026, with multi-school delivery and Buy American Act compliance), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (issued June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases with 5% Oregon-fabricated and 5% resident-bidder preferences), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (issued April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools with minimum three-year vendor experience required), and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts across Georgia (issued February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026, with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending). Buy American Act requirements, USDA compliance standards, HACCP plan certification, and firm fixed pricing for 12-month initial terms appear consistently across K-12 solicitations. Contract values where stated range from $1.5 million to $9 million annually; most solicitations allow one to four renewal options and quarterly or annual price redetermination tied to USDA or CPI indices.
