UNSPSC 50583005: Non GMO dwarf bok choy

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO dwarf bok choy. 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 50583005 Non GMO dwarf bok choy is a Commodity code covering fresh produce procurement by state and local buyers, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little focused activity on this specific item. The code surfaces in broader produce and food-service bids where bok choy may appear as a line item within larger fresh-vegetable buys. State and local governments purchase produce through food-service contracts for schools, parks, and public health entities; procurement typically flows through institutional food vendors, school district purchasing, and regional health-care networks. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers source produce alongside other food items as part of larger operational food buys, with quality, delivery logistics, food-safety compliance, and pricing adjustments for seasonal availability as standard requirements. Issuing bodies include school districts, county parks departments, state procurement offices, and regional healthcare coalitions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida based on recent postings. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including fresh vegetables, with domestic-sourcing preference and low-sodium and whole-grain emphasis; the State of Georgia issued a separate food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid (IFB, due June 22, 2026). Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) solicited produce proposals for the 2026-2027 contract period (ITN, due August 21, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited food-service proposals for North Collier Regional Park via ITN, due March 6, 2025. The code shows scattered activity within larger institutional food procurement rather than dedicated dwarf bok choy sourcing; buyers interested in this commodity should expect to compete in broader produce line-item bidding rather than dedicated single-item contracts.
