The variety of chinese cabbage known as shanghai d bok choy that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443013 Frozen shanghai d bok choy is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local government procurement activity in the source record. The recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly solicit frozen vegetables of all kinds—corn, mixed assortments, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, stir fry blend, peas, and green beans—as well as broader grocery, produce, and food service supply contracts for correctional facilities, state health agencies, and school districts. No solicitation in the dataset specifically requests frozen shanghai d bok choy; the code name and the work actually being bought diverge substantially. State and local issuing bodies soliciting frozen vegetable products include the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple ITBs for frozen corn, carrots, and assorted blends), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (institutional cafeteria food), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state hospitals and supported living centers), school districts across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas, and county correctional facilities. The recent activity spans corrections, health and human services, school nutrition, and related institutional food service across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia, and other states.
