UNSPSC 50593411: Dried Non GMO hokus cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO hokus 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 50593411 Dried Non GMO hokus cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific produce item, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity directly aligned to dried hokus cucumbers. The recent opportunities under this code span broad grocery procurement for school nutrition programs, state-supported living facilities, senior meal services, and summer food service programs — encompassing fresh produce, processed foods, meal components, and kitchen supplies rather than specialty dried-vegetable line items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts and state nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, reflecting the National School Lunch Program, Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program, and Adult Care Food Program as the primary procurement drivers.

Geographic spread spans the South and Northeast, with recent solicitations from Connecticut (Bridgeport), Georgia (Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (El Paso), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education with a June 30, 2026 response date; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across multiple fruit and vegetable categories with a June 26, 2026 response date; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 response date and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation content suggests this code assignment may reflect data-entry tagging errors or overly broad code application rather than active market demand for dried hokus cucumbers specifically.
