UNSPSC 50623311: Non GMO hokus cucumber purees

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO hokus 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 50623311 Non GMO hokus cucumber purees is a Commodity code describing specialty processed vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows little activity specifically tagged to this code. Instead, the recent state and local solicitations under related food-supply codes reflect a much broader procurement landscape: school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and veteran's homes are actively buying comprehensive food supplies encompassing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and prepared entrees through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs. The issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Burke County Public Schools and Douglas County School System, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers), and state veteran facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million and a July 13, 2026 response deadline; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a June 19, 2026 deadline; Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories with a June 15, 2026 deadline and Buy American Act requirements; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with an April 27, 2026 deadline and a July 1, 2026 start date.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with the most recent high-volume opportunities posted between January and June 2026. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, but state correctional and health agencies represent significant secondary buyers. Most solicitations use formal competitive bidding (IFB, ITB, RFP) with firm fixed pricing requirements, Buy American compliance mandates, HACCP certification, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and contract periods typically running one year (often July 1 through June 30) with one to four renewal options. Pricing structures vary: some procurements fix prices for the full term; others permit midterm adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices, Consumer Price Index data, or documented manufacturer price increases exceeding 3–5 percent thresholds. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the available solicitation records, though Oregon applies a 5 percent in-state preference for fabrication or processing and residency. The code itself shows minimal direct procurement activity; the broader food-supply category is the active market.
