UNSPSC 50593401: Dried Non GMO arena cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO arena cucumbers that have been dried for preservation. 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 50593401 Dried Non GMO Arena Cucumbers is a Commodity code representing a specialized produce item that state and local governments rarely procure directly, and the recent opportunities do not reflect meaningful activity under this code. The code's nominal scope—dried, non-GMO arena cucumbers—does not align with the state and local procurement activity observed in the most recent contract opportunities, which focus on fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, leafy greens), comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts, meal preparation and delivery services, and bulk food products for school nutrition and senior meal programs. While fresh produce appears frequently across school districts and state agencies, the specific commodity of dried non-GMO arena cucumbers does not appear in any of the recent solicitations examined.

State and local buyers issuing food and produce contracts span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissions (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). The geographic spread includes Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Recent opportunities range from fresh produce RFPs and IFBs with response dates between February and July 2026 (Hancock County Schools, SCCPSS, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, State of Georgia) to comprehensive grocery supply contracts (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, Meriden Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools) and meal delivery services (Hillsborough County senior meals). None of these solicitations reference dried arena cucumbers as a specification or line item. The code shows no current state or local procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.
