UNSPSC 50623000: Non GMO chinese cabbage purees

The variety of Non GMO cabbages known as Non GMO chinese cabbages. 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 50623000 Non GMO Chinese cabbage purees is a Class code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement; the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with the nominal scope. The source contains no state or local contract opportunities specifically for Chinese cabbage purees or related vegetable purées. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code span broad food procurement for institutional buyers—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes—purchasing fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy products, and prepared entrees in bulk quantities. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual buying activity suggests either a cataloging inconsistency in the source data or that Chinese cabbage purees are not a meaningful commodity in state and local procurement at present.

The issuing bodies across recent food-service opportunities span multiple jurisdiction types: school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County and Muscogee County in Georgia, Ben Hill County in Georgia, Burke County and Douglas County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department), and correctional and health facilities. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) for state-supported living centers at an estimated $1.5 million annually, the Oregon Department of Corrections' purchase of approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, response due June 19, 2026, previous purchase $13.75 per case), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 solicitation (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) spanning approximately 89 line items for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. These procurements emphasize firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, and weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple sites.
