UNSPSC 50623306: Non GMO chicago pickling cucumber purees

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO chicago pickling 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 50623306 Non GMO chicago pickling cucumber purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying shelf-stable food products, canned vegetables, and related consumables for institutional food service — primarily state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services. The recent opportunities block shows the code tagged to at least one Texas solicitation, but the overwhelming majority of recent state and local procurement activity captured shows canned tomatoes, potatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy products, condiments, and miscellaneous pantry staples rather than pickling cucumbers or cucumber purees specifically. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer across multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers; school districts and county governments also solicit food procurement regularly through IFBs and informal written quotes.

Geographic activity spans Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and statewide Georgia procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois. 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 with bids due July 13, 2026, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated foods across all facility food service operations with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables due October 19, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. The code shows little recent activity specifically for pickling cucumbers or cucumber purees; the mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied to broader food-service procurement or that demand for this product line is not active in the recent state and local market.
