UNSPSC 50483418: National pickling cucumber purees

The variety of cucumbers known as national pickling cucumbers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483418 National pickling cucumber purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this classification in state and local procurement. The source contains fifteen recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code, but none involve pickling cucumber purees or any cucumber products. Instead, the opportunities span broad-based food service and school nutrition procurement: weekly food orders for state veterans homes, fresh produce and eggs for school districts, cafeteria food products for corrections facilities, supplemental food and consumables for state health and human services agencies, and multi-category grocery procurement for school nutrition programs. The code assignment appears to be a tagging error or overcatch in the underlying procurement database rather than a genuine commodity classification. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations posted under it signals either a data quality issue in the state and local procurement system or a misuse of the UNSPSC taxonomy by issuing bodies.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia Department of Education), independent school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Muscogee County School System in Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), and state-supported living centers and corrections facilities. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with the most recent activity dated June 18, 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission seeking supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026) with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases at a prior price of $13.75 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and Douglas County School System requesting food supply and distribution services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Because no relevant opportunities exist under this code's stated scope, it carries no action signal for vendors pursuing pickling cucumber puree contracts with state or local bodies.
