UNSPSC 50613009: Canned or jarred Non GMO nerva bok choy

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO nerva 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 50613009 Canned or jarred Non GMO nerva bok choy is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure on a standalone basis; recent opportunities reveal no direct solicitation for this product, though the code appears tangentially in broader food procurement activity. State and local issuing bodies acquiring canned vegetables do so almost exclusively through master food contracts that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items across protein, dairy, produce, and prepared-food categories rather than targeting specific vegetables by botanical name or ingredient specification. The few solicitations in the most-recent-opportunities block that touch preserved vegetables at all do so incidentally within school nutrition, correctional facility, and state-agency food service contracts where canned tomatoes, canned goods, and mixed frozen or preserved produce appear as cost-line items alongside thousands of other SKUs.

The geographic and issuing-body mix in recent opportunities spans state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health authorities (Texas HHSC), school districts of varying size (Ben Hill County Schools Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools Virginia, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Muscogee County Georgia, Liberty County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Georgia, Burke County Georgia, Douglas County Georgia), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home Quincy), with the highest concentration of recent activity in Georgia school nutrition programs and Texas state-agency food service. Oregon and Texas corrections departments have posted multiple canned-goods solicitations, but none specify non-GMO bok choy or comparable exotic preserved vegetables. The representative opportunities—such as ODOC's June 2026 canned-tomato ITB (S2910000017145, approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) and Texas HHSC's June 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026)—confirm that state and local procurement officers source canned vegetables through competitive bidding on USDA-graded commodity items and through food distributors using net-off-invoice or cost-plus models on broader vendor agreements. No recent opportunity explicitly names non-GMO bok choy or similar specialty preserved vegetables as a line item, indicating either that this product category sits outside current state and local food-service procurement scope or that procurement offices do not segment preserved vegetables by botanical species or ingredient certification level.
