UNSPSC 50593415: Dried Non GMO long green improved cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO long green improved 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 50593415 Dried Non GMO long green improved cucumbers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation show little activity directly aligned with the narrow product scope. Recent solicitations tagged to this code predominantly reflect broad food service procurement for schools, counties, and state agencies rather than specialized dried vegetable sourcing. The City of Bridgeport's grocery bid for the Board of Education (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items including breakfast, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, and dairy; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products bid for El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covers general food service supplies; and Hancock County Schools' fresh produce solicitation (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) emphasizes fresh items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and citrus. These opportunities center on institutional meal preparation across K–12 school districts, county education systems, and state health agencies, with Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products) and adherence to the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act as standard requirements. Bidders across these solicitations must provide nutritional analyses, product labels, ingredient panels, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, commercial general liability and products liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence typical), and comply with federal procurement regulations.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic — Bridgeport (Connecticut), Hancock County (Georgia), Bulloch County (Georgia), Douglas County (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia) feature prominently in recent postings, alongside Texas (HHSC), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier Schools), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Florida (Hillsborough County). Larger institutional awards include Meriden Public Schools' 2026-2027 contract valued at approximately $3,100,000 (RFP02641, due February 25, 2026) and Hillsborough County's senior meal service estimated at $17.8 million over three years (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026). The code shows consistent quarterly solicitation activity across school nutrition programs and state food service operations, but the tagged opportunities reflect general grocery and produce procurement rather than the specific dried-cucumber commodity named. Vendors pursuing this code should confirm that narrow specialty items like dried non-GMO long green cucumbers are requested as line items within broader institutional food service RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs rather than as standalone sourcing contracts.
