UNSPSC 50613423: Canned or jarred Non GMO yamato cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO yamato 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 50613423 Canned or jarred Non GMO yamato cucumbers is a Commodity code that in practice sees little active state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen food-service solicitations spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and consumables from state corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state institutions across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri — but none of these opportunities explicitly reference canned or jarred yamato cucumbers or specialty preserved vegetables of this type. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with eleven of sixteen opportunities coming from K-12 districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County) seeking comprehensive grocery and produce contracts. State-level agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Veterans Home account for the remaining solicitations, all focused on broad food-service supply categories rather than specialty preserved cucumber products.

The geographic spread reflects heavy activity in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and the Texas-Oklahoma corridor, with secondary activity in the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon). Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois FY-27 IVHQ quarterly food order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission food and consumables procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes solicitation seeking 7,616 cases (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). The code shows no clear current demand for specialty non-GMO yamato cucumbers; vendors in this niche would need to position preserved cucumbers as ingredient or specialty items within broader food-service categories where schools, corrections facilities, or state institutions might source them, rather than expect dedicated line-item solicitations at this commodity level.
