UNSPSC 50603417: Frozen Non GMO midget cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO midget 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 50603417 Frozen Non GMO midget cucumbers (Commodity) addresses a narrow product line that state and local food service operations procure as part of broader meal-service contracts, though recent solicitations show limited direct activity specific to this item alone. State and local governments buy frozen non-GMO midget cucumbers primarily through school districts, county social-service departments, and state purchasing vehicles that aggregate food procurement across multiple agencies. The Commodity sits within larger food-service RFQs and IFBs that bundle dozens of food items—fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments—rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners managing senior-services meal programs, state purchasing offices coordinating statewide food contracts, and independent school districts supplying National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Recent opportunities emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, USDA compliance for grain and dairy products, HACCP certification, E-Verify verification, and general liability insurance requirements ($500,000 coverage typical for school-district awards).

Recent activity centers in Georgia, where Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an RFQ (PE77023NONST2027000000782) due October 19, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and fresh food items for senior-services delivery, the State of Georgia issued an IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026 for food and kitchen products across state agencies, and Early County Board of Education released an IFB (PE55045NONST2027000000006) due June 8, 2026 for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies supporting school meal programs. The source shows no recent solicitations naming frozen non-GMO midget cucumbers as a specific line item; the Commodity code appears to have been applied to broader food procurement RFQs and IFBs that encompass multiple produce types rather than this product in isolation. Competition in these broader food contracts typically favors vendors with established relationships, documented compliance histories, and capacity to deliver multiple line items on the same schedule.
