UNSPSC 50586868: Non GMO yu choy

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yu 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 50586868 Non GMO yu choy is a Commodity code covering fresh produce items, specifically non-GMO yu choy and related fresh vegetables, that state and local governments procure for food service operations. State and local solicitations under this code span county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, state purchasing offices, and school districts. The work involves supplying fresh produce to cafeterias, concession facilities, and food service operations with compliance to health and food-safety regulations, delivery timelines, volume requirements, quality standards, and freshness guarantees. Vendors typically manage transportation and maintain temperature or storage specifications, with pricing adjustments permitted based on seasonal availability.

Recent activity appears limited in volume and geographically sparse. The Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) issued a produce RFP with proposals due August 21, 2026, seeking qualified vendors to provide and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. The Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, that included vegetables and fruits as part of a broader scope spanning approximately 300+ food items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools. The State of Georgia itself issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026, with full scope details in an attached document. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, which included produce as part of diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues. Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia with no standout repeat buyers evident from recent solicitations.
