UNSPSC 50593412: Dried Non GMO japanese cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO japanese 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 50593412 Dried Non-GMO Japanese Cucumbers is a Commodity code covering specialty produce items, though recent state and local solicitations show that this narrow ingredient line rarely appears as a standalone procurement. The code is typically embedded within much broader grocery and food-service RFPs and IFBs targeting school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county governments that buy complete meal-support inventories under the National School Lunch Program and related child and senior nutrition initiatives. When dried or specialty cucumbers do appear in state and local buys, they surface as line items within larger fresh-produce, grocery, or food-consumables contracts rather than as isolated ingredients, and procurement offices typically specify them alongside dozens or hundreds of other produce, protein, dairy, and prepared-food items.

Recent activity across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi shows that state and local nutrition procurement concentrates in school districts and state health facilities. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB (BNB052266) in June 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services, with firm pricing through June 2027 and Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission released IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical value $1.5 million annually) with contract performance beginning September 1, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites and a June 26, 2026 response deadline. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB-26-00289 with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million. These opportunities universally impose Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, extensive insurance and background-check requirements, and CPI-adjusted pricing; dried specialty produce appears, if at all, as a minor component within multi-thousand-line-item food-service contracts where lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder evaluation and firm fixed pricing dominate.
