UNSPSC 50483411: Hokus cucumber purees

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

UNSPSC 50483411 Hokus cucumber purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy shelf-stable food products under this code to support institutional food service operations, including facility cafeterias, canteens, senior services, and nutrition programs. The recent opportunities show a divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity: none of the posted solicitations explicitly name hokus cucumber purees or comparable specialty puree products. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code request broad consumable food bundles spanning canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies—the hokus cucumber purees specification does not appear in any of the line-item rosters. The issuing bodies are primarily Texas state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), the State of Illinois, the State of Georgia, and the Oregon Department of Corrections. School nutrition programs and state-supported living centers represent the largest segment of recent activity, followed by corrections facilities and senior services.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas showing the densest activity. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, response due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces for senior services (response due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B standards (response due June 19, 2026; awarded at $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 purchase). Larger, longer-term awards include the Texas HHS supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2, 210 line items across fresh, frozen, and refrigerated categories, $4.5 million potential value over three years), and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid encompassing multiple categories with Buy American compliance across four school sites (response due June 15, 2026). The code shows material state and local procurement activity centered on commodity food provisioning rather than specialty purees, suggesting either a data-coding misalignment or that hokus cucumber purees are bundled within broader food category RFQs and IFBs rather than solicited as standalone line items.
