UNSPSC 50436113: Dried organic space spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic space spinach that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436113 Dried organic space spinach is a Commodity code that describes dehydrated spinach products marketed as organic and space-grown. State and local procurement activity under this code does not align with recent solicitation records. The most recent opportunities tagged to or near this code span broad food procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and municipal child nutrition programs — dried pinto and red beans, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and grocery items for K-12 meal service — but none reference space spinach, organic dried spinach, or any spinach product. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia Department of Corrections, and City of Edinburg have all posted solicitations for institutional food supply in the past four months, yet the specific commodity this code names does not appear in their documented requirements.

The mismatch between code and actual buying activity suggests either miscategorization by the posting jurisdiction or minimal or no market adoption of dried space spinach in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities show institutional food buyers standardizing around conventional produce, dried legumes, and mainstream grocery items with USDA grade certification and established supply chains. Prospective vendors should verify whether this code reflects genuine procurement intent at target jurisdictions before investing in pursuit strategy or pricing development for space spinach products.
