UNSPSC 50623015: Non GMO tip top cabbage purees

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO tip top 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 50623015 Non GMO tip top cabbage purees, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code are purchasing shelf-stable and fresh produce items—particularly canned and fresh vegetables, fruits, and prepared food products—for institutional food service operations at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies) and local school districts and county governments. The work being solicited spans the full range of institutional food procurement: multi-hundred-line-item comprehensive grocery bids for school cafeterias, specialized consumables for residential state facilities, and bulk shelf-stable vegetable and protein purchases for correctional institutions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative 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 (bids due July 13, 2026), covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products with a historical value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated-goods and resident-bidder preferences; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products across four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026) under Buy American Act requirements; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (quotes due October 19, 2026). The code itself does not appear to be a primary driver of recent solicitation activity—none of the recent opportunities explicitly reference non-GMO cabbage purees, and the broad institutional food procurement activity now visible spans generic vegetable, produce, and protein categories well beyond the specific commodity named in the code.
