UNSPSC 50623308: Non GMO crystal lemon cucumber purees

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO crystal lemon 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 50623308 Non GMO crystal lemon cucumber purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a specialized produce product, but the recent state and local opportunities record shows no procurement activity actually matching that description. Instead, the code appears to be tagged to a broader food-supply category that state and local governments use for institutional cafeteria, food-service, and nutrition-program provisioning. The actual solicitations under this code span fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared foods—proteins, vegetables, dairy, bread, condiments, and consumables—procured by state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, state corrections departments supplying prison cafeterias, school districts purchasing for nutrition programs, and county human-services departments. The work is transactional: vendors respond to IFB, RFQ, or IWQ notices with firm pricing on dozens or hundreds of line items, meet USDA grading and labeling standards, deliver within specified timeframes (typically three to seven days), and carry liability insurance. Recent issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (repeat buyer across multiple state facilities), Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Illinois state procurement, and State of Georgia. No evidence of set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appears across the opportunities reviewed.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with single recent postings in Illinois. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two IFBs in 2026 (HHS0017872 and HHS0018082, responses due August 25 and October 23 respectively) for consumables and foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), with a prior supplemental procurement (HHS0016792V2) valued at up to $4.5 million over three years covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported-living centers statewide. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026) with delivery to Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Ben Hill County Schools in Fitzgerald, Georgia (due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia (due June 5, 2026) each solicited comprehensive food bids for school nutrition programs under Buy American Act compliance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) covered approximately 382 line items for multiple prison warehouses across five geographic areas with delivery to six distribution points. The gap between the code's stated name and actual procurement activity suggests either mislabeling or institutional use of a default taxonomy entry for general food-service provisioning.
