UNSPSC 50583312: Non GMO japanese cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO japanese 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 50583312 Non GMO Japanese cucumbers, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce sourcing for state and local food service operations, including school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, healthcare facility kitchens, and state institutional feeding. The work involves supply contracts for fresh vegetables meeting specified quality, food-safety, and delivery standards, often bundled with broader produce or food-service procurement rather than as single-item specialty sourcing. Issuing bodies span school districts, county government procurement offices, state purchasing divisions, and healthcare coalitions; school districts conducting National School Lunch Program procurement represent the highest concentration of activity, though counties and state agencies also solicit produce on a regular basis.

Recent opportunities show activity across Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) released a line-by-line food and non-food bid due June 8, 2026, encompassing approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with domestic-sourcing preference and emphasis on whole-grain, low-sodium, and no-added-sugar formulations. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities, due March 6, 2025, with a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency and address criteria. Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified in source) solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period. School districts and counties emphasize delivery frequency and consistency, food-safety compliance including HACCP plans, and price stability supported by commodity index documentation.
