UNSPSC 50473410: Canned or jarred organic gherkin cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50473410 Canned or jarred organic gherkin cucumbers is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though recent opportunities tagged to this code show little activity directly matching the organic gherkin specification. Instead, the code appears in the broader context of large-scale food service procurement by state agencies, county nutrition programs, and school districts that source dozens or hundreds of food items in bulk — including canned vegetables as one line item among many. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily health and human services departments operating state-supported living centers, departments of corrections purchasing for inmate meals, county boards of commissioners sourcing food for senior services, school districts and school nutrition programs buying for cafeterias, and specialized state food service operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice emerge as repeat buyers, with Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple Georgia school districts also active in the recent opportunity set.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon over the past four months. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including prepared and canned items for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an IFB (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issuing IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition food products across multiple categories with Buy American Act compliance required; and the Texas Comptroller issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations. These opportunities typically require F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, firm fixed pricing on detailed price sheets, compliance with USDA grade and FDA standards, and submission of three vendor references and proof of liability insurance; organic gherkin cucumbers as a standalone specification do not appear explicitly in the recent posted opportunities, suggesting the code may be underutilized or that opportunities using it are tagged with broader food-service commodity codes instead.
