UNSPSC 50613001: Canned or jarred Non GMO bok choy

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO bok choy that has been canned or jarred 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 50613001 Canned or jarred Non GMO bok choy is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to this specific product line. The most recent opportunities in the dataset span broad food service procurement across school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities, but they center on comprehensive grocery, produce, and food-supply contracts encompassing dozens to hundreds of line items—not single-item or bok-choy-specific solicitations. The code nominally targets preserved vegetable products, yet recent state and local solicitations under related food codes show demand for canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods as components of larger nutrition programs rather than isolated canned bok choy purchases.

The issuing bodies pursuing these broader food-service contracts are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Douglas County School System in Georgia; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Oregon Department of Corrections; State of Illinois; State of Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, covering NIGP food-service categories with estimated historical spend of $1.5 million annually; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum 76-item bids across 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System's GEC Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual value of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas. No recent solicitations target non-GMO bok choy specifically, indicating the code sees no active state and local procurement demand at present.
