UNSPSC 50463423: Canned or jarred yamato cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50463423 Canned or jarred yamato cucumbers is a Commodity code representing pickled or prepared cucumber products that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service contracts. The code appears rarely in standalone solicitations; instead, yamato cucumbers and similar specialty preserved vegetables are bundled into comprehensive food supply RFPs issued by state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs that source hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), school districts, and county school systems across multiple states. The scope of work involves supplying canned or jarred vegetables as cafeteria staples, component ingredients for prepared meals, and condiment stock, typically with firm fixed pricing, delivery within specified windows (weekly for schools, 30 days for corrections facilities), and compliance with USDA Grade standards, FDA food safety, and sodium-content limits. Bidders must meet insurance requirements ($1 million per occurrence general liability is standard), maintain product shelf life minimums of 12 months, provide nutritional labeling, and support HACCP compliance and rapid recall procedures.

Recent activity shows school districts and corrections departments in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri posting the broadest food procurement RFPs and IFBs. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two large canned-tomato ITBs in early 2026 (S2910000016089 in January and S2910000015837 in January, each seeking approximately 7,600 cases); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0016792 in February and HHS0017449 in June, each encompassing 210 line items including canned goods; and multiple Georgia school districts (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Burke County, and Ben Hill County) and Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI) posted food procurement RFPs and IFBs between February and June 2026, each spanning hundreds of line items and annual values from $1.5 million to $9 million. The code shows no recent standalone opportunities for yamato cucumbers specifically, reflecting that specialty preserved vegetables are sourced as minor line items within large institutional food contracts rather than as primary procurement vehicles. Competition remains open to all qualified vendors; no set-asides or incumbent preferences appear in the recent solicitation summaries.
