UNSPSC 50583320: Non GMO telegraph cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO telegraph 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 50583320 Non GMO telegraph cucumbers (Commodity) describes fresh produce procurement—specifically fresh cucumbers—that state and local governments acquire through food service, nutrition program, and concession operations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show that state and local buyers source fresh produce through formal competitive bids and ITNs covering broad food-service scopes that include vegetables alongside meats, dairy, grains, and other provisions. Issuing bodies span county parks and recreation departments managing concession operations, school districts running National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, county health care coalitions, and state procurement offices. The code itself names a narrow commodity, but state and local procurement offices typically solicit produce—including cucumbers—as a line item within larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone buys, which affects how opportunity volume and frequency appear under the code.

Recent activity shows the code concentrated in the Southeast, with posted opportunities in Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state and Early County Schools), and Marion County (health care coalition location unspecified in the source). The most recent representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education (PE55045NONST2027000000006, line-by-line food bid, bids due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for school meal programs, Marion Health Care Coalition (SP0040000017708, produce proposals, due August 21, 2026) seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026–2027 contract period, Collier County Board of County Commissioners (258360, concession food services ITN, due March 6, 2025) for diverse food and beverage across park facilities, and the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, food supplies and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026). Most school district and health care buys emphasize domestic sourcing, food-safety compliance, and adherence to USDA nutrition standards; concession operations prioritize menu variety and customer service. Contract terms typically run one fiscal or calendar year with renewal options.
