UNSPSC 50483403: Athene cucumber purees

The variety of cucumbers known as athene cucumbers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483403 Athene cucumber purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code are procuring shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional foodservice — specifically, the code appears to reflect agricultural and processed food inputs for cafeteria, canteen, and institutional meal programs. The recent solicitation activity, however, shows minimal purchasing specifically for cucumber purees; instead, issuing bodies are buying broad-category consumable foods including canned vegetables, prepared proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies. The code's nominal scope diverges from what is actually being solicited: state departments, counties, school districts, and state-supported living centers are issuing IFBs and IWQs for comprehensive food procurement portfolios that span dozens of line items and food categories, not cucumber purees as a standalone commodity.

Recent activity centers in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumables across state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso (HHS0018082, posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872, posted August 11, 2026; HHS0016792v2, posted May 19, 2026 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office solicited cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse locations (IFB 304T26300CF, posted May 4, 2026). In Georgia, Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IWQ 140229, posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools solicited comprehensive food products for school nutrition programs (IFB #26271, posted May 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a substantial canned-tomato bid (S2910000017145, posted June 5, 2026) and an unnamed potato procurement (S2910000017460, posted July 17, 2026). Burke County Public Schools in Georgia and the State of Illinois also posted food procurement bids in the May–June 2026 window. The code shows no recent activity specifically targeting cucumber purees.
