UNSPSC 50603407: Frozen Non GMO crystal apple cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO crystal apple 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 50603407 Frozen Non GMO crystal apple cucumbers is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty frozen produce items, but the recent state and local procurement record shows little activity directly aligned with this specific product line. School districts and state agencies are actively soliciting frozen foods and fresh produce through broader food-service procurement channels, but these solicitations do not isolate frozen non-GMO cucumbers as a line item or category. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities are primarily school nutrition programs — including Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System — alongside state agencies (Georgia Department of Education and other state operations). These jurisdictions buy comprehensive food-service portfolios that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items across produce, frozen items, dairy, grains, meats, and supplies rather than discrete commodity-specific contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Early County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Texas (Dallas ISD), with state-level buys in Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Dallas ISD's February 2026 RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026) and the City Schools of Decatur's April 2026 IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026), both of which treat frozen products as part of broader line-item catalogs rather than category-specific buys. The Douglas County School System issued parallel RFPs in January and February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs and food supply and distribution covering approximately $4.4 million and $9 million respectively across multiple school districts. The code shows no recent state or local opportunities explicitly requesting frozen non-GMO crystal apple cucumbers as a named specification or standalone procurement, indicating limited current market activity under this specific commodity designation.
