UNSPSC 50473400: Canned or jarred organic cucumbers

The type of organic vegetable known as organic cucumbers that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473400 Canned or jarred organic cucumbers is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect procurement of organic cucumbers specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities center on broader food service contracting for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services operations, where canned vegetables appear as line items within much larger food supply solicitations rather than as stand-alone commodity buys.

State and local food service operations—primarily school districts, state departments of corrections, and health and human services commissions—are the primary issuing bodies. School districts dominate the activity: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted food procurement RFPs and IFBs since mid-May 2026. State-level facilities include the Oregon Department of Corrections (two recent canned-tomato ITBs, February and March 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (two supplemental food IFBs for state hospitals and supported living centers, February and May 2026), and the Illinois Veterans Home (quarterly food RFQs). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (six school districts plus one state-level procurement) and Texas (HHSC multi-facility operations). Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia complete the active footprint. Representative recent work includes the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted March 23, 2026, due April 6, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools plus distribution facilities (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026). The code shows no activity unique to organic cucumber procurement and should be treated as a mismatch—the actual buying is general canned vegetables embedded in large, multi-category food service contracts where organic specification is rarely visible.
