UNSPSC 50583302: Non GMO armenian cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO armenian 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 50583302 Non GMO armenian cucumbers is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the source record. Recent solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly source fresh produce and food items for school nutrition programs, state operations, and child nutrition services, but the tagged opportunities span apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and dozens of other commodity produce categories — not armenian cucumbers specifically. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations structured as IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs calling for line-item bidding, weekly or monthly deliveries, HACCP compliance, Buy American certifications, and firm pricing over 12-month contract periods. The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy marker for fresh produce procurement across the food service supply chain rather than a category-specific identifier.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with solicitations from Douglas County Schools and the Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), and Liberty County Schools (Georgia), alongside school districts in Texas including Northside ISD (San Antonio), McAllen ISD, and Austin ISD. The State of Georgia issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB #4 2027-2026) for fresh produce with a May 27, 2026 response deadline; Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids with response due June 8, 2026; and Northside ISD (San Antonio) issued RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition with response due May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM Central Time. Additional recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026), Douglas County Schools (Georgia) RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026), and Austin ISD RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026). The code shows consistent, substantial activity across institutional food service procurement but minimal evidence of armenian cucumber-specific demand in the current market.
