UNSPSC 50623002: Non GMO chinese flat-headed cabbage purees

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO chinese flat-headed cabbage. 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 50623002 Non GMO chinese flat-headed cabbage purees, a Commodity code, does not correspond to the state and local procurement activity visible in recent opportunities. The recent solicitations tagged under this code cover broad food service procurement for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and veterans homes—including proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery staples—rather than the narrowly specified cabbage puree products the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting non-GMO chinese flat-headed cabbage purees as a distinct line item in these recent opportunities.

The recent opportunities show significant school district and state agency food service procurement activity across multiple states. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple IFBs and RFPs from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Burke County and Liberty County Public Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and State of Georgia also appear frequently. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (IFB S2910000017145), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 (IFB HHS0017449), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract due April 27, 2026 (IFB 2000004323). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois, with procurement cycles running primarily from late winter through spring for school-year contracts beginning July 1.
