UNSPSC 50623301: Non GMO arena cucumber purees

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO arena cucumbers. 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 50623301 Non GMO arena cucumber purees, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title references a narrowly defined specialty produce product, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for cucumber purees or closely related items. Instead, state and local governments posted solicitations during the past six months for broad categories of food products—canned tomatoes, fresh produce assortments, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, pantry staples, and consumable supplies—primarily through school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies. These opportunities span general food service procurement, not specialty or organic produce lines. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual purchasing activity suggests this code either remains dormant in state and local contracting or is rarely applied to food service solicitations even when vegetable products are included.

The geographic spread of recent food service opportunities shows concentrated activity in Georgia (six school district and county purchasing initiatives), Texas (two major state health and human services procurements), Oregon (two corrections department bids), and scattered single opportunities in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, and Douglas County School System all posting food service RFPs or ITBs with response dates between late March and late June 2026. State agencies—Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and Georgia state procurement—round out the buyer universe. Representatives include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026), Texas HHSC's supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000017145, response due June 19, 2026). None of these opportunities specifically targets non-GMO or specialty cucumber products.
