UNSPSC 50406200: Spinaches

The type of vegetable known as spinaches

UNSPSC 50406200 Spinaches is a Class code that covers fresh spinach and spinach products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service and child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh spinach as part of broader produce procurement for school nutrition, senior services, criminal justice facilities, and child care programs, typically in bulk quantities delivered on a weekly or as-needed schedule to multiple institutional locations with specifications for freshness, food safety compliance, and temperature-controlled delivery.

School districts dominate solicitation activity under this code, with recent opportunities from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Northside Independent School District (Texas), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and multiple Georgia school systems including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Henry County. State agencies and departments also procure spinach—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple IFBs for produce including items like carrots, sweet potatoes, and white potatoes for institutional food service—and specialized programs such as Head Start of Greater Dallas and Hillsborough County's USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program source fresh produce including vegetables. Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia (where over a dozen school districts posted fresh produce bids between February and May 2026) and Texas (where state agencies and school districts including NISD, McAllen ISD, and Austin ISD solicited produce). Additional recent solicitations come from Florida, Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Utah (Salt Lake City School District), and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for fresh specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (proposals due March 11, 2026, with estimated annual budget of $600,000), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's recurring IFBs for institutional bulk produce including carrots (IW241979-A for 1,200 tons) and potatoes (multiple IFBs with March 2026 due dates).
