UNSPSC 50583300: Non GMO cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO cucumbers. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50583300 Non GMO cucumbers is a Class code that covers fresh produce procurement for state and local public bodies, grounded in food service, school nutrition, and institutional meal programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy fresh vegetables and fruits — primarily through school districts managing National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, county parks and recreation departments operating food concessions, and healthcare and regional coalitions supplying institutional food service. The work consists of vendor selection for fresh-produce delivery, including compliance with food safety standards, USDA sourcing preferences, product freshness guarantees, and delivery scheduling to multiple sites. Issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of commissioners, state procurement offices, and regional healthcare coalitions; school districts appear as repeat buyers managing multi-school food procurement with detailed specifications for produce variety, nutritional attributes (whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, products without artificial additives), and domestic sourcing preferences.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across Florida, Georgia, and multi-state regional vendors. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with bids due June 8, 2026, and Marion Health Care Coalition soliciting produce proposals with a due date of August 21, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park on October 8, 2026, with proposals due March 6, 2025 — requiring diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across water park and athletic concession facilities. The State of Georgia issued a broader food and kitchen products procurement due June 22, 2026. School district procurements emphasize line-item bidding, firm pricing for contract terms with escalation caps tied to USDA indices, delivery logistics to multiple school sites with temperature and inventory-rotation requirements, and compliance with Buy American provisions and debarment verification for bids exceeding $25,000.
