UNSPSC 50623319: Non GMO persian cucumber purees

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO persian 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 50623319 Non GMO Persian Cucumber Purees, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of specialty vegetable and fruit purees for institutional food service, though the code shows minimal aligned recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader food procurement patterns rather than persian cucumber purees specifically: school district nutrition programs, state-operated facilities, and corrections departments are soliciting weekly or annual food orders, produce contracts, and comprehensive grocery supply arrangements. These jurisdictions—Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Oregon Department of Corrections, and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia—typically source food through consolidated buys covering hundreds of line items across protein, dairy, produce, and specialty categories rather than narrow single-product procurements. The scope of work across recent opportunities spans fresh and frozen produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, condiments, prepared foods, and consumable supplies delivered on weekly or monthly schedules to central distribution points and school sites.

School districts represent the dominant issuing-body type in the recent activity, with multiple solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State departments and corrections agencies also appear frequently: the State of Illinois, Texas HHSC, and Oregon Department of Corrections each issued multiple quarterly or annual food contracts. The geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia, with six solicitations), followed by the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), Texas, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017449) for food and consumables at an El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million annually and a response deadline of July 13, 2026; the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271) covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and supplies for four school locations with a due date of June 15, 2026; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with an estimated substantial contract value, due April 27, 2026. None of the recent solicitations explicitly reference persian cucumber purees; the code's nominal scope diverges markedly from the actual procurement activity, which centers on mainstream commodity food supply rather than specialty vegetable purees.
