UNSPSC 50613007 Canned or jarred Non GMO jade pagoda bok choy is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category within broader food procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying shelf-stable vegetable products for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no specific demand for this exact product. Instead, the actual procurements tagged to the code span much broader food service consumption — state health and human services agencies, county and municipal nutrition programs, and school districts are buying prepared foods, consumables, and fresh or frozen produce in volume for canteens, cafeterias, and food service operations at supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services centers. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions, county governments managing schools and senior services, and independent school districts, with repeat solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and multiple Georgia school systems.

Recent opportunities show activity across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods at state supported living centers — HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026, for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, 22 line items including prepared foods and supplies) and HHS0017872 (due August 25, 2026, for the same facility, 20 line items with annual renewal options).
