UNSPSC 50583011: Non GMO ruffles bok choy

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO ruffles 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 50583011 Non GMO ruffles bok choy is a Commodity code with little relevant recent procurement activity among state and local buyers. The code's narrow product specification—a single leafy green variety with a non-GMO designation—does not align with the actual scope of solicitations tagged to it. The recent opportunities block shows 17 state and local procurement actions, all of which request broad fresh produce portfolios (apples, bananas, peppers, carrots, eggs, and dozens of other items) or comprehensive grocery offerings, not bok choy specifically. School districts and state purchasing offices in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida are the primary issuers, soliciting produce for child nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and institutional food service. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact rather than a genuine procurement category in active use.

State and local buyers pursuing fresh produce contracts use broader UNSPSC families and classes encompassing mixed-produce baskets rather than single-item commodity codes. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery across San Antonio schools (due May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (proposals due March 11, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts (due March 4, 2026). Buying entities span state departments, county school systems, independent school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri. If your firm supplies bok choy, pursue opportunities at the broader produce-family level rather than expecting direct solicitations under this code.
