UNSPSC 50603419: Frozen Non GMO persian cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO persian 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 50603419 Frozen Non GMO Persian Cucumbers is a Commodity code that represents a single specialty produce line item. State and local governments procure frozen specialty vegetables through broader food service and nutrition contracts, but the recent opportunities in the source reflect minimal direct solicitation of this specific product. The code appears narrowly scoped to a single frozen commodity variant, which differs materially from the wide-ranging produce and food procurement activity actually occurring across issuing bodies. School districts, state agencies, and regional purchasing cooperatives are the dominant buyers of food service products in the recent record, but none of the seven opportunities explicitly names frozen non-GMO Persian cucumbers as a line item or procurement focus—the solicitations instead address fresh produce, general grocery items, or comprehensive food supply contracts that may or may not include this frozen specialty product at all.

The geographic spread of recent food service procurement covers Georgia heavily (State of Georgia, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District). School districts represent the dominant issuing body across the recent record, with most contracts supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB for line-by-line food and non-food products supporting child nutrition across three schools, and the Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The actual procurement activity under this code does not clearly surface frozen non-GMO Persian cucumbers as a standalone or frequently specified item, suggesting limited current market demand or that such specialty frozen vegetables are sourced through broader commodity or specialty-produce line contracts rather than targeted solicitations.
