UNSPSC 50626868: Non GMO yu choy purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yu 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 50626868 Non GMO yu choy purees is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities actually solicited—food service for state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, state correctional facilities, and other institutional food services—center on shelf-stable staples, proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy products, condiments, and disposable food service supplies rather than non-GMO yu choy purees specifically. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumable products across state facilities (Lufkin and El Paso state supported living centers, and statewide state hospitals and supported living centers); school districts in Georgia and Texas also solicit regularly under similar taxonomy, as do the Oregon Department of Corrections and Gwinnett County, Georgia. The issuing bodies span state procurement offices, county governments, school districts, and state health and corrections agencies purchasing institutional foodservice for residential or daily-occupancy facilities.

Texas dominates recent activity, with five posted opportunities from HHSC and TDCJ between May and October 2026; Georgia schools and Gwinnett County account for three additional solicitations posted May through October. Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato procurement in June 2026 (approximately 7,616 cases, IFB S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences. Representative recent work includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items spanning prepared foods and food service supplies, IFB due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services (35 line items, informal written quotes due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across four schools (hundreds of line items with Buy American Act compliance required, sealed bids due June 15, 2026). The code shows substantial and consistent recent activity, though the specific commodity (non-GMO yu choy purees) does not appear prominently in the posted solicitations.
