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 align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this taxonomy. The code nominally describes a specific preserved vegetable product, yet the recent opportunities span broad food procurement categories—fresh produce, canned goods, meat, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies—with no documentation of solicitations for Chicago pickling cucumber purees specifically. The issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), and special-purpose districts (Georgia state operations). Most recent activity centers on school nutrition programs sourcing annual food supply contracts, with secondary volume from state corrections and health facility procurement.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Liberty County, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Texas (El Paso, statewide facilities), followed by activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products across multiple categories emphasizing Buy American and whole-grain options (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity; the discrepancy between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation breadth suggests either miscoding in the state and local database or that this commodity sits outside the primary procurement patterns these jurisdictions currently pursue.
