UNSPSC 50583310: Non GMO gherkin cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO gherkin 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 50583310 Non GMO gherkin cucumbers (Commodity) covers the supply of fresh gherkin cucumbers meeting non-GMO standards to state and local government food-service operations. The work being solicited under this code reflects what food-service buyers actually purchase: fresh produce delivery for institutional kitchens, parks and recreation concessions, school meal programs, and healthcare facility dining. State and local governments source this commodity through produce vendors and food-service distributors who meet food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, and quality specifications. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, school district nutrition programs, state healthcare facilities, and health-care coalition purchasing groups. The mix reflects both large institutional food-service programs and smaller specialized demand from county concession operations.

Recent activity shows modest geographic spread and steady procurement across multiple jurisdiction types. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies bid in May 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids including fresh vegetables for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain and low-sodium options. Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified) sought produce proposals for the 2026-2027 contract period with proposals due August 21, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring food vendors to provide diverse meal options including fresh produce across concession facilities. School districts and county recreation departments represent the most active recent buyers under this code; procurement volumes and response-date clustering suggest steady but not high-volume activity in this specific commodity line.
