UNSPSC 50406212: Trinidad spinach

The variety of spinach known as trinidad spinach

UNSPSC 50406212 Trinidad spinach, a Commodity code, describes fresh leafy greens that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for Trinidad spinach specifically; instead, the code's recent activity consists of broader fresh produce procurement where spinach appears as one line item among dozens in comprehensive school food bids. Issuing bodies soliciting produce under related codes include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent in San Antonio, Hillsborough County in Tampa, Austin Independent, Douglas County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham, and others across Georgia), state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ for cafeteria and canning operations), Head Start organizations, and municipalities (San Antonio Parks & Recreation). The mix is heavily weighted toward K–12 school nutrition programs operating under USDA reimbursement frameworks, with secondary demand from correctional institutions and early childhood programs.

The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, and scattered activity in other states, with Georgia school districts and Texas institutional buyers representing the most active recent procurement volume. Representative opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) for weekly fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and delivered pre-cut and inspected to elementary students in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas; and Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 (posted April 14, 2026, due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce delivery five days per week to 117 schools across the San Antonio area. Most solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP certification, traceability documentation by farm of origin, domestic sourcing where possible, and weekly or twice-weekly delivery schedules with temperature control. The code sees steady activity but no dedicated spinach-only procurement in the recent record; pursuing this code requires capability to supply spinach as part of larger, multi-item produce contracts under school nutrition or institutional food service frameworks.
