UNSPSC 50593405: Dried Non GMO burpless tasty green cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO burpless tasty green 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 50593405 Dried Non GMO burpless tasty green cucumbers, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span comprehensive school nutrition grocery procurement, fresh produce supply contracts, senior meal services, and institutional food service, none of which specifically target dried cucumber products. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited grocery items across over 1,100 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and leafy greens; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. Additional opportunities emerged from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) for Master Grocery K-12 supply, the State of Georgia for food supplies and kitchen products, and school districts across Georgia, Mississippi, and Connecticut for fresh produce, packaged meals, and comprehensive food service contracts.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, supplemented by state agencies and county government. Solicitations from Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission dominated the recent activity. The geographic concentration falls heavily on Georgia school districts, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 27, 2026, response deadline), the Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP covering 32,000 meals daily for approximately $9 million annually (February 18, 2026, response deadline), Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods RFP with an anticipated contract value of $3.1 million (February 25, 2026, response deadline), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid for 72 items across 60 school sites (April 23, 2026, response deadline). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation content signals that this code's assignment to broad food service procurement may reflect data entry inconsistency rather than genuine market activity for dried cucumber products.
