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, a Commodity code, does not appear in any of the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code's nominal scope—specialty produce purees meeting non-GMO and proprietary varietal standards—does not match the food procurement activity currently posted by state and local jurisdictions. The recent opportunities instead reflect demand for conventional fresh produce, canned vegetables, frozen and fresh proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods supplied to school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers across multiple states.

State and local food procurement is concentrated among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and special facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity spans Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Virginia, with Georgia and Texas showing the highest concentration of solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, IFB for approximately $1.5 million historical value); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, response due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (response due June 15, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026). No state or local procurement opportunity in the current dataset specifically requests non-GMO cucumber purees or similar specialty vegetable purees.
