UNSPSC 50593408: Dried Non GMO crystal lemon cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO crystal lemon 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 50593408 Dried Non GMO crystal lemon cucumbers is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty produce items purchased through state and local food procurement. Recent activity shows minimal direct solicitation specifically for this product line; instead, state and local jurisdictions are sourcing dried or specialty produce items as line items within broader grocery, fresh produce, or food supply contracts rather than through standalone specifications for crystal lemon cucumbers. School districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal food service operations dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs appearing most frequently across recent RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs. These jurisdictions procure fresh and processed produce as components of comprehensive food supply agreements serving cafeterias, senior meal programs, and child nutrition initiatives.

Recent state and local procurement activity under food and produce categories spans Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Florida, with school districts in Georgia particularly active. Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation (IFB, June 26, 2026 response date) encompassing over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and specialty citrus; the City of Bridgeport's grocery items bid (IFB, June 30, 2026) supporting the school nutrition program with over 1,100 line items including produce, vegetables, and fruits under Buy American provisions; and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (RFP, March 4, 2026) structured for a GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 school districts across Georgia with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement (IFB HHS0017449, July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at a state-supported living center represents non-school-district activity. Dried specialty produce like crystal lemon cucumbers, if sourced at all by these jurisdictions, would be specified as individual line items within these comprehensive food supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements, suggesting limited standalone opportunity under this narrowly defined code.
