UNSPSC 50623001: Non GMO bok choy purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable 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 50623001 Non GMO bok choy purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity being solicited under it in state and local markets. Recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly cover broad food-service consumables — shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, frozen prepared items, dairy products, condiments, and food-service supplies — for state institutions, school nutrition programs, and corrections facilities. The code name specifies a single produce-based product line, yet the recent bids show state and local governments buying mixed grocery catalogs with dozens to hundreds of line items per solicitation. State Health and Human Services agencies in Texas and Georgia, corrections departments in Oregon and Texas, school nutrition programs in Georgia, and Illinois state agencies have all posted food-service bids tagged to this code over the past four months. Issuing bodies span state departments (Health and Human Services, Criminal Justice, Corrections), county systems (Gwinnett County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and independent school districts. The work involves responding to detailed specification sheets for multiple product categories, firm fixed pricing on unit bases, delivery to multiple locations within tight windows (often 7 days or fewer from order), and compliance with federal Buy American provisions, HACCP certifications, debarment verifications, and state-specific preferences where applicable.

Recent activity centers in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary posting in Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP Class numbers 385, 390, 380, and 393 with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case; Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across four locations due June 15, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products supplying TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas, due May 4, 2026 (extended from April 21). The code shows steady recent volume but vendors pursuing this category should recognize that no single bok choy puree specification drives procurement — success requires agility across diverse product lines, rapid response to multi-item solicitations, and familiarity with institutional delivery, compliance, and pricing frameworks specific to each state system.
