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 procure shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, primarily for institutional food service operations including state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school districts, and county social services programs. Recent solicitations show that this code encompasses a broader category of canned and jarred vegetables than the nominal code name suggests — state and local buyers are acquiring diverse canned and jarred produce including tomatoes, peppers, and mixed vegetables alongside the specified cucumber products, typically as line items within larger consumable-food procurements rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (particularly Texas), state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and independent school nutrition programs. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, having issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods serving state supported living centers and state hospitals. These procurements are governed by standard institutional food-service terms: products must meet USDA grade standards or FDA compliance, carry minimum shelf-life requirements (typically 12 months or more), include proper labeling and Country of Origin marking, and be delivered FOB Destination within specified timeframes (commonly 7 to 30 days of order receipt).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million (though no guarantee of volume), and a separate IFB HHS0017872 in August 2026 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center covering consumable foods with response due August 25, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB on June 5, 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026, applying Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent each; the prior purchase in February 2026 was $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins and canned vegetables with informal written quotes due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 respectively, spanning hundreds of line items across produce categories with firm fixed pricing for the initial 30-day period followed by semi-annual or quarterly adjustments tied to USDA or CPI verification. All solicitations require three verifiable references, compliance with E-Verify and debarment certifications, and submission of detailed product specifications and nutritional information.
