UNSPSC 50593419: Dried Non GMO persian cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO persian 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 50593419 Dried Non GMO Persian Cucumbers is a Commodity code that describes dehydrated cucumber products meeting non-GMO certification standards. In practice, state and local governments procure dried produce items like this as components within larger food-service and school-nutrition contracts rather than as standalone specialty items. The code appears infrequently in recent state and local solicitations; the opportunities posted under related food procurement do not prominently feature dried persian cucumbers as a line item, instead emphasizing fresh produce, bulk grocery staples, and prepared meals for school nutrition and senior services. Issuing bodies soliciting under food-related codes span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing departments (State of Georgia). These entities typically consolidate produce and food procurement into broad grocery or fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs rather than sourcing specialty dried items independently.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic. Recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools requesting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting grocery items for the Board of Education under BNB052266 (electronic bids due June 30, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners requesting senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB-26-00289 (bids due June 25, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), and the State of Georgia requesting food supplies and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). No recent opportunities explicitly name dried persian cucumbers; the code shows minimal relevant procurement activity at present.
