UNSPSC 50593406: Dried Non GMO chicago pickling cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO chicago pickling 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 50593406 Dried Non GMO Chicago Pickling Cucumbers, a Commodity code, does not reflect active recent procurement activity under state and local government buying. The code's nominal scope—a specific dried cucumber variety—is too narrow to match the actual work being solicited in the recent-opportunities record, which spans comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce sourcing, meal preparation and delivery, and food service supply contracts across multiple states.

The opportunities tagged under this code represent school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement that encompass hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Douglas County School System in Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state 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, with school-based child nutrition programs dominating. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items RFQ (June 30, 2026 due date), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (June 26, 2026 due date), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract IFB (April 27, 2026 due date), and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP serving 25,500 students with $9 million estimated annual spend (February 18, 2026 due date). The code assignment appears incidental rather than purposeful—dried pickling cucumbers are not a featured line item in any of these solicitations. Vendors pursuing state and local food service contracts should monitor the broader grocery and produce UNSPSC families rather than this specific commodity code.
