UNSPSC 50483416: Marketmore cucumber purees

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

UNSPSC 50483416 Marketmore cucumber purees is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single produce product line, yet state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect sourcing of cucumber purees specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad food-service procurement for state institutions, school districts, and county departments, spanning hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, dry goods, and food-service supplies. The actual work being solicited includes institutional canteen and campus foodservice supply, school nutrition program fulfillment, state hospital and correctional facility provisioning, and senior-services food distribution. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS, Georgia, Illinois), state departments of corrections, school districts across multiple states, county boards of commissioners, and special state agencies. No single buyer dominates the recent record; Texas HHS appears multiple times with separate solicitations for different state-supported living centers, and school districts in Georgia post recurring nutrition food bids. The code shows little evidence of concentrated buyer activity and spans fragmented institutional demand across state and local tiers.

Recent activity appears in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with estimated annual quantities of 1–24 cases per item and delivery within seven days of order. The same agency posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 (due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; that solicitation explicitly references NIGP Class/Item numbers rather than granular UNSPSC commodity codes, suggesting state procurement systems may tag institutional foodservice broadly across multiple UNSPSC codes regardless of actual product mix. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (quotes due October 19, 2026) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted IFB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) with a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case and Oregon-fabricated-good and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) posted comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026 spanning multiple school locations and hundreds of line items with delivery to individual cafeterias. The absence of any recent opportunities explicitly requesting cucumber purees suggests this Commodity code may be a taxonomic misapplication or a placeholder for broader produce categories in state and local systems.
