UNSPSC 50603408: Frozen Non GMO crystal lemon cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO crystal lemon 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 50603408 Frozen Non-GMO Crystal Lemon Cucumbers is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The source records ten recent opportunities spanning Georgia, Missouri, and Texas school districts and state agencies soliciting food service procurement — but none specifically target frozen non-GMO crystal lemon cucumbers or reference this code. The opportunities instead reflect broad food service category procurement: Georgia's State Department of Education and regional school systems issue RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, frozen foods and groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and commodity food distribution to support school nutrition programs and state institutional feeding. The issuing bodies are state departments, county boards of education, and independent school districts, with standout repeat activity from Georgia jurisdictions (State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System).

Recent representative solicitations show the actual procurement mix: Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative buying arrangement spanning 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively; Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and condiments alongside non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program; City Schools of Decatur issued IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) with delivery to ten school sites and requirements for HACCP plans and food recall procedures; and Dallas Independent School District issued RFP JC250079 (due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spice and ice cream lots to the Maria Luna Warehouse. The code shows little procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope, and business development professionals should verify actual category coding against issuing-body documentation before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
