UNSPSC 50483419: Persian cucumber purees

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

UNSPSC 50483419 Persian cucumber purees is a Commodity code that covers specialty produce products, particularly concentrated or processed vegetable purees sourced for institutional food service. State and local governments procuring under this code buy shelf-stable and fresh food products for large-scale meal preparation, though recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for Persian cucumber purees specifically. Instead, the code sits within a broader institutional food-procurement ecosystem where state departments, county governments, and school districts source vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies through consolidated bids. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (notably Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county boards of education and schools, state departments of corrections, and county departments of community services. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a frequent repeat buyer, having posted multiple food-procurement notices for state supported living centers and state hospitals.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas showing the highest activity. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which covered 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026), encompassing multiple produce categories with emphasis on whole-grain and low-sodium options; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). The code shows activity primarily in large-volume institutional procurement rather than specialty puree demand—most opportunities target standardized, commodity-level produce items such as canned vegetables and fresh frozen products rather than processed purees.
