UNSPSC 50623307: Non GMO crystal apple cucumber purees

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO crystal apple 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 50623307 Non GMO crystal apple cucumber purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the source material. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve broad food service procurement — weekly cafeteria supplies, institution food orders, fresh produce, and grocery items — rather than the specialized puree product the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state health and corrections agencies procuring routine food for child nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The mix spans large urban school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), mid-sized districts (Rockwood R-VI, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and special-purpose cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). A handful of repeat issuers — Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, and several Georgia school districts — appear multiple times in recent postings, suggesting steady baseline demand from these segments.

Opportunities concentrate in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Illinois and Virginia. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), valued at approximately $1.5 million historically and covering NIGP Classes 380, 385, 390, and 393 with firm fixed unit rates; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026) estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026) seeking approximately 1,904 cases with a historical reference price of $27.75 per case. School nutrition and institutional food service remain the dominant use case; the code's nominal focus on specialized purees does not align with current market activity, indicating minimal targeted demand for that specific product line within state and local procurement channels.
