UNSPSC 50463419: Canned or jarred persian cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50463419 Canned or jarred Persian cucumbers (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations—correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The actual buying activity under this code reflects a broader institutional food supply ecosystem in which canned vegetables appear as line items within large, multisource food and consumables contracts rather than as standalone procurements. Recent opportunities show Persian cucumbers bundled within comprehensive food service bids alongside dozens of other canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and related supplies. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and school districts across multiple states. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and related state agencies appear as repeat buyers, with multiple fiscal-year renewals and statewide contracts covering state supported living centers and hospitals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB in June 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (a parallel canned-vegetable procurement) due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase history at $13.75 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFBs in May and August 2026 for supplemental food and consumables encompassing 210 line items and canned vegetables, with response deadlines of March 19 and August 25, 2026 respectively and estimated values ranging to $4.5 million over three years; Gwinnett County in Georgia requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May 2026 due June 15, 2026 for July 2026–June 2027 supply. Contracts typically require FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, minimum shelf life of 12 months, USDA Grade B or better compliance, delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, and three references for similar contracts. No recent opportunities tag the code exclusively to Persian cucumbers; the commodity appears as a line-item option within larger institutional food service bundles.
