UNSPSC 50623008: Non GMO kasumi bok choy purees

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO kasumi 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 50623008 Non GMO kasumi bok choy purees, a Commodity code, addresses a highly specialized produce category that state and local governments procure in minimal volumes. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show little direct relevance to the commodity itself — they span broad food procurement for state institutions, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health-and-human-services centers, where bok choy purees are not named or prioritized line items. State and local buyers under this code tier predominantly consist of school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), state departments and agencies (Illinois Veterans Home Quincy, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education), and correctional and residential facilities. The work actually being solicited across these opportunities centers on bulk food supply contracts covering proteins, dairy, produce, grains, and prepared items — not specialty puree products.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois, with Georgia school districts particularly active in competitive RFPs and IFBs for annual nutrition contracts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-goods and produce ITBs (S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes, S2910000016089 for tomato paste), and multiple school district food bids such as Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) and Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for food products (due April 29, 2026). The code shows no recent solicitations that treat non-GMO bok choy purees as a primary or featured item, suggesting limited current market demand at state and local procurement levels and weak alignment between the commodity's nominal scope and active buying patterns.
