UNSPSC 50583015: Non GMO tip top cabbage

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO tip top cabbage. 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 50583015 Non GMO tip top cabbage, a Commodity code, frames fresh vegetable procurement by state and local governments — school districts, county parks, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. The recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh produce as part of broader food-service operations: school lunch programs require vegetables meeting USDA nutrition standards and domestic-sourcing preferences; county parks and recreation departments procure produce for concession food service; healthcare facilities source fresh fruits and vegetables for operational meal programs; and state procurement offices aggregate food and produce purchasing across multiple agencies. The work is operational procurement of perishable goods delivered on regular schedules, typically with quality standards, temperature and freshness guarantees, and compliance with food-safety regulations including HACCP plans and biosecurity policies where required.

Recent solicitations span Georgia, Florida, and unspecified multi-state or local jurisdictions. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for food products including approximately 300+ items covering vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and delivery required Monday through Friday during the school year. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring concession vendors to provide fresh food and beverage options across multiple venues. Marion Health Care Coalition issued an RFQ for produce proposals due August 21, 2026, covering fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia solicited bids for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. School districts and county governments appear as repeat buyers; healthcare and state purchasing also participate. Produce procurement under this code occurs within larger food-service contracts where fresh vegetables compete against commodity supplies and prepared items.
