UNSPSC 50623010: Non GMO rosette bok choy purees

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO rosette 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 50623010 Non GMO rosette bok choy purees is a Commodity code that describes specialized vegetable purees used in institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity shows no solicitations specifically naming this product. The code is nominally aligned with specialty produce processing, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification span a substantially broader range of food procurement — whole produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and comprehensive grocery supply contracts for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions rather than purees or GMO-specific produce products. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and one county school system (Douglas County School System in Georgia). The mix reflects routine school nutrition procurement and state facility food service contracting across multiple jurisdictions rather than concentrated activity from any single repeat buyer.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period and due date of July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school food supply due June 15, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. None of these solicitations explicitly reference non-GMO rosette bok choy purees, indicating a material mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity under it.
