UNSPSC 50467009: Stuffed cucumber kimchi

Made by slicing the cucumber three or four times and mixing it with green onion, garlic, ginger and red pepper on the inside.

UNSPSC 50467009 Stuffed cucumber kimchi is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent procurement activity from state and local governments. The code's nominal scope—fermented vegetable condiments—does not align with the actual work being solicited under recent opportunities tagged to this code. Instead, the recent state and local solicitations tagged to UNSPSC 50467009 cover broad food procurement for institutional food service: shelf-stable grocery items for senior services, miscellaneous items for child nutrition programs, and general commissary supplies for correctional facilities. The institutional food buyers—county departments, school districts, state corrections agencies, and health and human services commissions—are acquiring thousands of line items spanning proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and prepared foods in volume quantities, none of which are specifically stuffed cucumber kimchi or narrow condiment categories that the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope reflects a common tagging challenge in state and local systems where broad food categories receive narrow commodity codes by default. Recent activity clusters heavily among Georgia (Gwinnett County, Georgia Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Administrative Services), Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and select school districts. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, state corrections and health departments, independent school districts, and special-purpose institutional authorities. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 ITB for 2,856 cases of tomato ketchup due September 16, 2026, with 10% Oregon preference; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 2026 IFB for approximately 100 line items of food and supplies for Big Spring State Hospital due August 28, 2026. The code shows no recent opportunities actually soliciting stuffed cucumber kimchi or narrow specialty fermented condiments—the activity is institutional bulk food procurement across commodity categories that merely happen to be tagged under this commodity code.
