UNSPSC 50613411: Canned or jarred Non GMO hokus cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO hokus 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 50613411 Canned or jarred Non GMO hokus cucumbers (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity almost exclusively as canned and bottled vegetable products supplied to institutional food service operations—schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services facilities—rather than as a stand-alone pickled-cucumber category. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show that state and local buyers actually source broad food procurement contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, produce, and supplies; the code's nominal scope (Non-GMO hokus cucumbers specifically) does not align with the recent solicitations' actual purchasing patterns. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state agencies (State of Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and county school systems (Douglas County School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia). School districts and state institutional food service programs dominate the recent activity, with Texas and Georgia showing the most recent solicitation volume.

The most recent opportunities involve competitive bids for quarterly or annual food supply contracts. Representative examples include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 for food products and related items with bids due June 15, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) requiring weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, with bids due April 27, 2026. These procurement vehicles range across IFB, ITB, RFP, and RFQ notice types. Most contracts are structured as annual or multi-year agreements with firm pricing for the initial period and renewal or extension options, and many require compliance with Buy American Act provisions, HACCP food safety plans, federal debarment certifications, and general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. The code shows modest but consistent recent activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable volume in Georgia school districts and state health and corrections facilities in Texas and Oregon.
