UNSPSC 50613420: Canned or jarred Non GMO telegraph cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO telegraph 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 50613420 Canned or jarred Non-GMO telegraph cucumbers is a Commodity code describing preserved vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily through school district food-service operations and institutional feeding programs. Recent solicitations show this code sees minimal direct activity; the opportunities block does not name any procurement specifically for canned or jarred telegraph cucumbers. Instead, recent state and local purchasing under related preserved vegetable categories emphasizes canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and broad fresh produce buys. The issuing bodies purchasing preserved vegetables span multiple sectors — school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and county school nutrition programs (Muscogee County School District in Georgia).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and the upper South, with active procurement from Georgia school districts, followed by activity in Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Recent representative opportunities in the preserved-vegetable segment include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response deadline June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including preserved items for state supported living centers (response deadline July 13, 2026), and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 posted May 2026 for food products across multiple categories including canned fruits and vegetables (response deadline June 15, 2026). The code shows no recent standalone solicitations for telegraph cucumbers specifically, suggesting either sporadic demand or bundling within broader institutional food buys where preserved vegetables compete as line items against fresh produce and other staple proteins in consolidated food-service procurements.
