UNSPSC 50483409: Danimas cucumber purees

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

UNSPSC 50483409 Danimas cucumber purees is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local food service procurement for institutional feeding operations, though recent solicitations in the opportunities block show minimal direct cucumber-puree activity. Instead, the code appears to tag broader food and consumable supply contracts where cucumber products may be one line item among hundreds in mixed food-service procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers, state prison systems, and state hospitals, alongside county and municipal school nutrition programs and county senior services departments. These issuing bodies procure consolidated food-service packages that include proteins, produce, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and food-service supplies—often in the hundreds of line items per contract—with annual spend ranging from under $100,000 to over $1.5 million per facility or district. Texas Health and Human Services Commission emerges as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable foods across state hospitals and supported living centers; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Oregon Department of Corrections also conduct regular procurement cycles for cafeteria and institutional feeding.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and a response deadline of July 13, 2026; in August 2026, the same agency posted IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for the Lufkin facility with a bid due date of October 23, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across multiple prison warehouses with approximately 382 line items. In Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools posted a food bid in May 2026 (due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools posted a school nutrition food bid in May 2026 (due June 5, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items in October 2026 (due October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 (bids due June 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois posted a quarterly food order in June 2026. These contracts typically require F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight prepaid, firm pricing for 30 days post-award, references and company qualifications, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, and proof of liability insurance and debarment certification.
