UNSPSC 50603423: Frozen Non GMO yamato cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO yamato 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 50603423 Frozen Non-GMO Yamato Cucumbers, a Commodity code, describes specialty frozen produce items that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying frozen and fresh produce as components of comprehensive food-service contracts, though the code shows limited activity specifically tied to frozen yamato cucumbers as a discrete line item; instead, jurisdictions typically bundle frozen produce purchases within broader fresh-produce or grocery-item solicitations that span dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple produce categories.

Issuing bodies purchasing under this code are predominantly school districts across multiple states, supplemented by state agencies managing institutional food operations. School districts including Early County Schools (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) have posted solicitations for fresh and frozen produce in recent months, indicating steady demand from K-12 nutrition programs. State of Georgia has also issued separate RFPs for fresh produce and grocery items supporting state operations. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where Douglas County School System, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, and Savannah-Chatham County have all solicited produce contracts since February 2026, with additional activity in Missouri and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items across meats, vegetables, fruits, and grains for school breakfast and lunch programs; the City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) requiring whole-grain, low-sodium, and zero-trans-fat products delivered to ten school sites; and the Douglas County School System's fresh-produce RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million across 30 participating districts for 72 produce line items including fresh vegetables, fruits, and eggs. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, firm pricing for the full term, and delivery Monday through Friday during morning school-arrival windows.
