UNSPSC 50623005: Non GMO dwarf bok choy purees

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO dwarf bok choy. 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 50623005 Non GMO dwarf bok choy purees is a Commodity code. The code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. Among the recent opportunities posted to this code, none involve bok choy purees or related fresh vegetable preparations. Instead, state and local buyers use the code primarily to solicit broad consumable food products—shelf-stable items including canned vegetables, proteins, grains, condiments, frozen entrees, dairy, and prepared foods—alongside food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and trays for institutional food service operations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts, Gwinnett County (Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, and Ben Hill County Schools represent the issuing bodies in recent postings, spanning state health and human services agencies, county governments, school nutrition programs, and corrections departments. The mix reflects institutional food service procurement for state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and K–12 cafeterias.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon in recent months. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared foods and food service supplies) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, pasta, soups, 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 preference provisions; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across multiple categories due June 15, 2026. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF) encompassing 382 line items of proteins, frozen specialty foods, dairy, grains, and condiments was extended to May 4, 2026. The code's nominal scope (non-GMO dwarf bok choy purees) does not align with the institutional commodity food products actually being solicited under it; the mismatch suggests either data-entry error in the tagging system or that the code is used as a placeholder for broad consumable food procurement without item-specific accuracy.
