UNSPSC 50603006: Frozen Non GMO fengshan bok choy

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO fengshan bok choy that has been frozen 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 50603006 Frozen Non GMO fengshan bok choy is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific frozen vegetable product, yet the recent state and local activity shows little solicitation activity directly aligned with that narrow scope. The code appears in state and local food procurement broadly, but the most recent opportunities posted under or near it reflect general food purchasing for institutional settings — school districts, county government, and state agencies buying shelf-stable and fresh foods in bulk for cafeterias, senior services, and food assistance programs. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state procurement offices, and independent school districts, all of which purchase food through informal quotes (IWQ), competitive bids, and line-item RFQs that span dozens of product categories at once rather than frozen bok choy specifically.

Georgia dominates the recent activity: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items across 35 line items for the Department of Community Services with F.O.B. destination delivery to Lawrenceville; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22 due date; and the Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8) for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, and low-sodium formulations with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Award on the Early County bid was expected approximately 60 days after bid opening, and price escalation is limited to 3% during the contract period. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, and satisfy E-Verify and debarment verification for contracts exceeding $25,000. The code shows activity concentrated in institutional food service procurement in Georgia rather than frozen specialty vegetables as a distinct commodity line.
