UNSPSC 50593005: Dried Non GMO dwarf bok choy

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO dwarf bok choy that has been dried for preservation. 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 50593005 Dried Non GMO dwarf bok choy is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed vegetables procured by state and local governments for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply operations. The recent opportunities show that state and local issuing bodies are buying broadly across fresh produce, packaged foods, and meal-support products under this code taxonomy, though the specific dried bok choy line item appears narrowly within larger grocery and produce contracts. School districts and county nutrition departments dominate the issuing-body mix, supplemented by state health and human services agencies and county senior services programs. Buyers enforce strict compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American Provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and HACCP food safety protocols. Contracts typically require firm fixed pricing over 12-month terms, prepaid freight to multiple delivery locations, 24-hour emergency stock availability, and vendor participation in electronic ordering systems (such as LINQ School Solutions).

Recent activity spans the Southeast and Texas. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (El Paso State Supported Living Center) posted an IFB for food and consumables with a historical value of $1.5 million and bids due July 13, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce across over 200 line items with an IFB due June 26, 2026; Hillsborough County (Florida) posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million and bids due June 25, 2026; the State of Georgia requested food and kitchen products with bids due June 22, 2026; and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) solicited packaged meal boxes for summer nutrition services with bids due April 29, 2026. Most recent responses have closed; active pursuit would focus on future postings from school districts and state nutrition agencies currently cycling contracts.
