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 describes fresh or processed cabbage products, though the recent state and local opportunities recorded under this code do not include any solicitations for cabbage or cabbage-derived items. Instead, the code tags a broad range of food-service procurement across institutional buyers — state health and human services agencies, county social services, school districts, and correctional departments — all seeking shelf-stable and frozen food products, prepared entrees, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies for canteens, cafeterias, and institutional food service. The actual buying activity tracked under this code encompasses general food-service resupply rather than specialty produce items. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which appears across multiple recent solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois. The mix reflects state departments, county social-services and corrections operations, and school nutrition programs as the primary buyers.

Recent procurement activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with seven-day delivery; Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, and vegetables, due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated preference; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (comprehensive food bid for four schools with hundreds of line items across fresh produce, meat, dairy, and dry goods, due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act requirements). Contracts typically run one to two years with renewal options, F.O.B. Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing for an initial term, and compliance requirements including E-Verify, debarment certification, liability insurance, and HACCP or food-safety standards. School districts generally require Buy American certification and Child Nutrition program compliance; institutional buyers emphasize USDA grade standards and delivery within seven to thirty days of order receipt.
