UNSPSC 50623016: Non GMO yau choy sum purees

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO yau choy sum. 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 50623016 Non GMO yau choy sum purees is a Commodity code that covers specialized vegetable products procured primarily by institutional food service operations, though recent state and local opportunities show limited direct activity tagged to this specific code. The solicitations in the dataset—spanning school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies across multiple states—focus predominantly on broad food procurement (canned and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods) rather than the narrowly defined non-GMO puree category. School nutrition programs, state correctional systems, and institutional living centers are the primary issuing bodies sourcing food products under related food commodity codes, with recent competitive activity centered on weekly or annual food supply contracts. The geographic spread of institutional food procurement spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts representing the largest share of issuing bodies.

Representative recent opportunities reflect the broader institutional food service market rather than non-GMO puree demand specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period and firm pricing required on unit rates. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017145 in June 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case (prior vendor Highland Wholesale), illustrating typical commodity-level pricing transparency. School districts including Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued IFBs and RFQs for comprehensive food procurement in May and June 2026, with multi-hundred-line-item scopes spanning fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods. The code shows no distinct market for specialty non-GMO puree products in the recent state and local procurement stream; vendors pursuing this code should monitor whether institutional buyers begin disaggregating specialty ingredient procurement from mainstream food supply contracts or whether this commodity remains absorbed within broader produce and prepared-food solicitations.
