UNSPSC 50473407: Canned or jarred organic crystal apple cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic crystal apple cucumbers that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473407 Canned or jarred organic crystal apple cucumbers is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty preserved vegetable products procured primarily by state institutions, school districts, and health services agencies for food service operations. State and local governments buy canned and jarred vegetables—including tomatoes, pickled products, and other preserved items—under this family, though recent solicitations show heavier activity in broader food procurement (general groceries, produce, proteins, dairy) that incidentally includes canned vegetables as line items rather than as the primary focus. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, state veterans' homes, county school districts, and independent school systems. Recent activity shows school districts as the dominant buyer class, particularly in the Southeast and Midwest, alongside state institutional food service operations in Texas and Oregon.

The most recent representative opportunities reflect this mix: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned goods for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and contract term through August 31, 2027 with renewal options; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016405 in March 2026 (due April 6, 2026) for tomato paste covering approximately 1,904 cases; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items in March 2026 (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items including canned goods for the 2026-27 school year. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for a broad food procurement including canned fruits and vegetables with Buy American Act compliance required. Geographic concentration spans Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois and Virginia. Most solicitations are IFBs or RFPs with firm fixed pricing, monthly or quarterly ordering cycles, and contract terms running July 1 through June 30 for school year alignment.
