UNSPSC 50623322: Non GMO vert de massy cornichon cucumber purees

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO vert de massy cornichon 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 50623322 Non GMO vert de massy cornichon cucumber purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow specificity to a single branded product variant contrasts sharply with the opportunities posted under this designation, which span broad food service supply across multiple product categories, not specialty cucumber purees. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover general food provisioning for institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and veterans' homes—encompassing dozens to hundreds of line items per procurement across proteins, dairy, produce, prepared foods, condiments, and supplies rather than any particular vegetable puree product. This suggests either a data-classification mismatch in the procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous food commodities.

The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts and state agencies. School districts account for the plurality of recent opportunities: Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Muscogee County School District have each posted single or multiple procurements. State agencies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (posting two separate statewide supplemental-food solicitations with maximum potential values of $4.5 million each), the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple canned-produce bids), the State of Illinois (recurring quarterly food orders for veterans' homes), and the Georgia Department of Education (fresh-produce procurement). The geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with the most recent and largest-value opportunities in Texas (HHSC's $4.5 million statewide supplemental-food IFBs and TDCJ's 382-line-item cafeteria-food solicitation) and Georgia (school district food-service RFPs and fresh-produce procurements serving 18–32 schools each). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million (responses due July 13, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools posting IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 to supply 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with firm pricing firm for 365 days (responses due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million (responses due February 18, 2026). These procurements typically demand firm, fixed pricing inclusive of delivery, compliance with Buy American and USDA food standards, proof of insurance ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence), and weekly or multiple-times-weekly delivery to school sites or distribution centers. Most school districts solicit annually on a July–June fiscal cycle; state agencies post on variable schedules often tied to contract renewal or budget cycles.
