UNSPSC 50483406: Chicago pickling cucumber purees

The variety of cucumbers known as chicago pickling cucumbers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483406 Chicago pickling cucumber purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this code tier. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show no procurement activity for Chicago pickling cucumber purees or any variant of pickling cucumber products. Instead, the opportunities span broad consumable food items for state institutional facilities, school nutrition programs, and correctional systems—including proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy products, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies. The code designation appears to be a data-entry or classification mismatch rather than a reflection of current procurement practice under this UNSPSC commodity identifier.

State and local opportunities posted under this code have involved the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products), Oregon Department of Corrections (canned tomatoes), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (shelf-stable food products), and school districts in Georgia and Illinois. Recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case (bids due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products with delivery to four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026). Activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional opportunities in Illinois. Given the code-scope mismatch and lack of genuine pickling cucumber puree procurement signals, this code warrants further investigation before pursuing—the activity tag may not persist or may be corrected in future solicitations.
