UNSPSC 50483407: Crystal apple cucumber purees

The variety of cucumbers known as crystal apple cucumbers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483407 Crystal apple cucumber purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure shelf-stable and fresh produce items for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal direct alignment. The recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit broader consumable food categories—prepared foods, frozen produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies—rather than apple cucumber purees specifically. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, Georgia State), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), state correctional systems (Texas TDCJ, Oregon DOC), and state institutions (Illinois IVHQ facilities). Repeat buyers emerge in Texas, particularly the HHS Commission and TDCJ, which solicit food and consumables on annual or multi-year cycles for state-supported living centers, hospitals, correctional facilities, and schools. Most solicitations follow IFB or IWQ (informal written quote) structure with response dates concentrated in May through October 2026.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with seven-day delivery; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services (due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition across four locations (due June 15, 2026), requiring Buy American Act compliance with over 51 percent domestic agricultural content; and Oregon Department of Corrections procurement for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent. Contracts emphasize firm, fixed unit pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms, delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, references from prior similar work, compliance with USDA standards and FDA regulations, E-Verify requirements, and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1 million. The code itself shows limited recent direct activity for apple cucumber purees; most state and local food service procurement under related codes focuses on broader commodity categories, with no current solicitations explicitly requesting this product.
