UNSPSC 50603405: Frozen Non GMO burpless tasty green cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO burpless tasty green cucumbers that have been frozen 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 50603405 Frozen Non GMO burpless tasty cucumbers is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity under recent opportunities. The posted solicitations tagged to this code do not feature frozen cucumbers or specialty produce items; instead, they center on broad food-service procurement for schools, counties, and state agencies — including shelf-stable pantry staples, proteins, dairy, fresh and frozen vegetables as part of large mixed-lot food inventories, and institutional kitchen supplies. The issuing bodies span county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), each procuring food through informal written quotes (IWQ), sealed-bid ITBs, and line-item competitive bids rather than specialty commodity purchases. The work reflects standard institutional food-service contracting — bulk purchasing with domestic sourcing preferences, USDA compliance, food-safety certifications, and delivery to centralized service points.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted IWQ 140229 in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026. Early County Board of Education issued an ITB for FY27 food-service contracts covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies across the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a companion solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) in May 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with firm pricing, and vendors must carry liability insurance, maintain HACCP plans, comply with Buy American provisions, and satisfy E-Verify and debarment verification when contract value exceeds the threshold. The code itself shows no meaningful activity in specialty frozen-cucumber procurement; the opportunities are broad institutional food sourcing and do not match the narrow commodity title.
