UNSPSC 50583323: Non GMO yamato cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO yamato 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 50583323 Non GMO yamato cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single fresh-produce item but shows minimal relevant activity in current state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting yamato cucumbers or any non-GMO cucumber variety; instead, the records reference generic cucumber procurement within broader fresh-produce and school-nutrition food-service contracts. State and local governments purchasing under this code—primarily school districts, county school systems, and state departments of education—source fresh produce as one line item among dozens in comprehensive annual nutrition-program contracts. When cucumbers appear in these solicitations, they are typically one of 60 to 72 line items in multi-category fresh-produce RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, often bundled with apples, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, and leafy greens without distinction by variety, GMO status, or origin.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school districts. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Northside Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 2026-048 on April 14, 2026, for fresh-produce supply to 127 campuses across San Antonio with responses due May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM. Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB 27-02 on March 16, 2026, for fresh-produce procurement across 16 school locations with bids due April 14, 2026 at 10:00 AM. Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited bids for 72 fresh-produce items under Bid 26-34 on March 22, 2026, with sealed responses due April 23, 2026 at 11:00 AM. Additional school-district opportunities span Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County (Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), Early County (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri). These procurement vehicles emphasize domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and competitive line-item pricing against USDA Terminal Market reports; none specifically identifies yamato or non-GMO cucumber varieties as a differentiating requirement.
