UNSPSC 50623303: Non GMO athene 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 50623303 Non GMO athene cucumber purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure cucumber purees and related fresh and processed produce under this code as part of broader food service operations, including institutional cafeterias, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show cucumber purees appearing within larger consumables solicitations that also encompass proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies operating residential facilities, state correctional departments, school districts, and county governments supplying nutrition programs across multiple locations. Work involves meeting USDA or FDA grade standards, managing shelf-life and temperature requirements for fresh or processed produce, and delivering on FOB Destination terms with response to orders typically due within seven days.

The most recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple consumables solicitations for state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso (IFBs HHS0018082, HHS0017872, and HHS0017449, with bids due October 23, August 25, and July 13, 2026 respectively), while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products including canned vegetables and specialty items under IFB 304T26300CF (response deadline May 4, 2026). In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools solicited comprehensive school nutrition food with fresh and frozen produce categories (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools sought nearly 400 line items including fresh and frozen vegetables (due June 5, 2026). Oregon posted a large canned tomato procurement through its Department of Corrections (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026). The Illinois state agency issued an IVHQ quarterly food order (due June 26, 2026). No specific opportunities under this code explicitly name non-GMO cucumber purees as a line item; the code shows minimal recent targeted activity for this commodity in isolation, appearing instead within aggregated food service buys where produce variety and compliance with grade or nutritional standards drive specification rather than GMO certification alone.
