UNSPSC 50613417: Canned or jarred Non GMO midget cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO midget 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 50613417 Canned or jarred Non-GMO midget cucumbers is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within preserved vegetable procurement by state and local entities. Recent solicitations show that school districts and state agencies source canned and jarred vegetables—including cucumbers, tomatoes, and mixed preserved products—as components of broader food service contracts, not as standalone line items. The code appears primarily in meal-service procurement for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and veteran homes, where preserved vegetables are ordered alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods to meet USDA meal requirements and operational specifications.

Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts across multiple states, and state veteran homes, with no single repeat buyer dominating the activity. Geographic spread reflects recent solicitation activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts and state agencies across those jurisdictions sourcing food products that include preserved vegetables under broader category buys. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for tomato products (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive school nutrition food, all of which encompass preserved vegetables as line items within larger food procurement contracts. The code shows limited standalone activity; canned vegetables are typically embedded in multi-category food service solicitations rather than procured as discrete commodity buys.
