UNSPSC 50583321: Non GMO telegraph improved cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO telegraph improved 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 50583321 Non GMO telegraph improved cucumbers is a Commodity code representing fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations across schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and institutional dining. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show state and local buyers sourcing fresh vegetables and produce as part of broader food and beverage procurement — not cucumbers specifically, but the code's nominal scope does not align tightly with the work actually being solicited. State and local issuing bodies span school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. The Early County Board of Education, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Marion Health Care Coalition all posted produce-related solicitations in the past five months, indicating steady demand for fresh-produce vendors across multiple institutional sectors.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an ITB on May 11, 2026 for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026; the scope includes vegetables and fruits as line items within a 300+ food-product portfolio. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025; the vendor must provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple venues. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) posted a produce-focused RFP on August 7, 2026 with a due date of August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date. The code shows active procurement but little evidence of specialists selling non-GMO or heirloom cucumber varieties as a standalone commodity — most opportunities embed produce within broader food-service contracts.
