UNSPSC 50583311: Non GMO hokus cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO hokus 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 50583311 Non GMO hokus cucumbers, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce procurement by state and local governments for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows limited direct alignment with the nominal product category. The recent opportunities posted under this code include a Collier County food-services concession solicitation for a regional park, a Marion Health Care Coalition produce-supply RFP, a statewide Georgia food and kitchen products bid, and an Early County Schools line-item food bid covering meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The issuing bodies span county parks and recreation departments, county health care coalitions, state procurement offices, and school districts, reflecting the broad food-service footprint of state and local procurement across athletic venues, health facilities, state operations, and K–12 nutrition programs.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Georgia and Florida, with no standout concentration. Representative opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park (responses due March 6, 2025), Marion Health Care Coalition's produce RFP for the 2026–2027 period (due August 21, 2026), the State of Georgia's food supplies and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's line-item food bid for school lunch and breakfast programs (due June 8, 2026). The Early County bid specifically solicits vegetables and fruits alongside other food categories for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations without artificial additives. Collier County applies a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. The code shows activity sufficient to warrant monitoring for school-district and parks-operations opportunities, though vendors should verify whether specific produce or commodity-line bids map cleanly to this UNSPSC designation at solicitation posting.
