UNSPSC 50583307: Non GMO crystal apple cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO crystal apple 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 50583307 Non GMO crystal apple cucumbers is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local food service buyers—school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare facilities, and state agencies sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables for operational meal programs and food service venues. The code reflects actual purchasing of fresh produce items integrated into broader food-service and food-supply RFPs, RFQs, and ITNs where cucumbers appear alongside other fresh vegetables, meats, dairy, and non-food supplies as line items within larger food-service contracts. State and local issuing bodies range from independent school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement to county parks departments operating concession facilities and community healthcare organizations supplying meal operations. The solicitations show produce vendors competing within multi-item food-service bids and as standalone produce supply contracts, with emphasis on food safety compliance, delivery scheduling, product freshness, quality standards, and seasonal availability pricing adjustments.

Recent activity spans Georgia (State of Georgia food supplies bid in May 2026, Early County Board of Education line-by-line food bid for July 2026–June 2027 contract period), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services, due March 6, 2025, and Marion Health Care Coalition produce proposals due August 21, 2026), and other jurisdictions. Early County Schools' June 8, 2026 food bid explicitly solicited fresh vegetables as part of a 300+ item food contract across three schools with domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium emphasis, and firm pricing for 15 days post-award with six-month escalation windows tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data. Marion Health Care Coalition's August 2026 produce RFP sought qualified vendors meeting quality, delivery, and volume standards with seasonal pricing adjustments, while Collier County's March 2025 ITN for park concession operations included food-service vendor qualification criteria and 10-point local-vendor preference. The code shows active procurement across school nutrition, municipal parks recreation, healthcare food service, and state food supply channels.
