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 that describes shelf-stable preserved vegetable products procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied broadly to general canned and preserved food procurement rather than specifically to midget cucumbers. State and local governments buying under this code include state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county and municipal procurement offices, school districts, and state departments of corrections. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food and consumable solicitations covering dozens of line items that bundle canned vegetables, prepared foods, and food service supplies; these solicitations treat preserved vegetables as one product category among many. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia and Oregon Department of Corrections have also posted recent buys for shelf-stable food products including canned items. The scope encompasses preserved vegetables (canned tomatoes, canned vegetables in general) alongside fresh, frozen, and prepared proteins, dairy, bread, condiments, and disposable food service supplies—suggesting the UNSPSC code in practice spans a wider range of institutional food procurement than the code name alone indicates.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumable foods including prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m., with 22 line items and annual quantities ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia released an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces, with quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and delivery required to Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville by December 7, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026, for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, with bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools) also posted comprehensive food bids in May 2026 covering hundreds of line items including canned vegetables and preserved products for child nutrition programs, with response deadlines in June 2026.
