UNSPSC 50583316: Non GMO marketmore cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO marketmore 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 50583316 Non GMO marketmore cucumbers is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not procure this specific item—cucumbers at any GMO status—through dedicated solicitations. The recent opportunities in the dataset are tagged with this code but soliciting fresh produce broadly for school nutrition and institutional food service, where cucumbers appear as one line item among dozens of fruits and vegetables rather than a standalone commodity. The code's nominal scope (a single produce variety) does not match the actual procurement activity, which centers on comprehensive fresh-produce contracts serving child nutrition programs across school districts, state agencies, and specialty initiatives like the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.

State and local buyers pursuing fresh-produce contracts—particularly school districts and state departments—are issuing RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs for multi-item produce lists, not individual commodities. Recent activity spans Georgia (Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District), Texas (Northside Independent School District in Bexar County, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and state-level procurement by Georgia. Opportunities typically feature line-item bidding on 60–72 produce items with annual contract values ranging upward from hundreds of thousands of dollars. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 128 campuses (due May 7, 2026), Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 locally grown items within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across two geographic areas (due March 4, 2026). The code shows no isolated procurement of non-GMO marketmore cucumbers as a distinct commodity line.
