UNSPSC 50613409: Canned or jarred Non GMO danimas cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO danimas 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 50613409 Canned or jarred Non GMO danimas cucumbers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments purchase preserved vegetable products for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and state facility cafeterias. The recent solicitations show that governments are buying canned and jarred vegetables as components of larger food procurement bundles rather than as standalone line items; pickled cucumbers appear alongside canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, proteins, and dairy products in multi-category RFPs and IFBs issued by school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies. Issuing bodies span school districts of varying sizes (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Human Services, Illinois Veterans Home), and special-purpose procurement cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts dominate the recent activity, with preserved vegetables consistently specified as part of annual nutrition contracts supporting thousands of students across multiple delivery points.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and broader regions with notable volume in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. The State of Illinois issued an RFQ (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) for quarterly weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, with brand-specific or equivalent canned vegetables among the 24 line items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, encompassing multiple food categories under NIGP classes including preserved vegetables. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued separate bids for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, seeking approximately 7,616 cases) and tomato paste (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026, seeking approximately 1,904 cases), with deliveries to Salem; both specify USDA Grade B or better, strict sodium limits not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams, and minimum 12-month shelf life. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract spanning 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, requiring firm pricing on a minimum of 76 items with all costs on an F.O.B. Destination basis. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia (due April 29, 2026) each issued comprehensive food bids spanning fresh, frozen, and canned products with weekly delivery to multiple school sites and Buy American Act compliance required.
