UNSPSC 50613405: Canned or jarred Non GMO burpless tasty green cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO burpless tasty green cucumbers that have been canned or jarred 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 50613405 Canned or jarred Non GMO burpless tasty green cucumbers is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable vegetable products for institutional food service. The code sees narrow, specialized activity in state and local procurement — the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations matching this specific product line. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are procuring broad categories of canned and jarred vegetables as part of larger food service contracts that span proteins, produce, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and food service supplies. The code's nominal specificity (burpless cucumbers, Non GMO designation) does not align with the actual scope of what state and local agencies are buying, which treats canned vegetables as commodity line items within integrated meal-service procurement rather than as a discrete contracting focus.

State health and human services agencies, departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, and county and municipal food service operations are the primary issuing bodies. Recent opportunities show Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts, and Gwinnett County (Georgia) procurement comprehensive food service contracts where canned and jarred vegetables appear as individual line items within 20–210 item bid packages. Activity is geographically dispersed across Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with most volume in Texas institutional food service for state supported living centers and prison systems. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC Lufkin State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items including prepared and shelf-stable foods for campus canteen operations, the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products including canned vegetables for senior services, and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato-specific bid S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases. Canned vegetables are typically one among dozens of commodity lines, priced per case or unit, with FOB Destination delivery terms and 7–30 day fulfillment windows. This code shows little current procurement activity as a standalone product focus; vendors should track institutional food service codes at higher tiers for broader market opportunity.
