UNSPSC 50603007: Frozen Non GMO jade pagoda bok choy

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO jade pagoda 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 50603007 Frozen Non-GMO Jade Pagoda Bok Choy is a Commodity code encompassing fresh or processed vegetables in frozen form, though state and local governments rarely solicit this specific item in isolation. Instead, recent activity tags the code against broad food procurement spanning shelf-stable goods, fresh produce, proteins, and prepared items for institutional cafeterias, senior services, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies across the code include county purchasing offices, state agriculture or food-service agencies, and school districts. When the code does appear in recent opportunities, it is typically one line item among hundreds in larger food-service bids rather than a standalone solicitation; the actual work involves responding to institutional food contracts where vegetables—fresh, frozen, canned, or prepared—are one component of a multi-category purchase.

State and local activity under this code concentrates in Georgia, with recent opportunities spanning Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia central purchasing office, and Early County Schools. In October 2026, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ (informal written quote) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, covering 35 line items including canned vegetables but not the specific frozen bok choy; responses were evaluated per unit cost with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center within 72 hours of order and by December 7, 2026. In May 2026, the State of Georgia issued a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026, with scope details contained in an attached solicitation document. Also in May, Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies supporting school lunch and breakfast programs, due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium and additive-free formulations, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The specific frozen jade pagoda bok choy shows no dedicated recent posting; pursuit under this code requires bundling into larger institutional food-service responses where vegetable products are incidental line items.
